I would like if multiple ritual site search spells (Auspex, Haruspex, Dark Knowledge etc.) were automatically cast on different unsearched provinces.

If I understand your request, thats already in the game. You select the appropriate mages, then use shift-M to tell them to cast the search spells automatically every month. They will select the next unsearched province.

I've never seen this happen.

just ran a test, it will infact cycle from lowest number to highest unsearched province.

Szumo's might have wanted to give two mages the shift-M cast hauspex order. The two mages use the same algorithm but ignore each other, so next turn they'll aim for the same unsearched province.

It sounds easy(TM), to keep a list during turn resolution of which province has already been targeted by an 'autocast search spell order', and make sure the next mage doesn't target the same province.

(but I'd rather get a monthly forge command first).

Personally the most Ive ever kept is two sets of mages working. One on automatic, and the other set so I can select the whole set, select cast, and have them check a specific province. Usually some mountain province up on the front line that Ive just taken and Im hoping for a free castle.

I guess I can see the thing about wanting multiple mages to check different locations. Not sure how it would handle a higher level mage and a lower level mage without getting a new rash of wishlist.

We're not talking about automatic site searching by mages moving around, but rather about the site searching spells, so this is not a concern at all.

I knew that. I can just see a "I wish my higher level mage would get selected before my lower" or a return of the "shouldnt take provinces in numeric sequence" or some other extension on it.

Why would they want the higher level mage selected first? They all search at lvl 9 using the spells.

Ahh (slap head).
Its been a rough day.

Of course, on the other hand it doesnt stop them doing it anyway.
