Default Re: We love Illwinter!

Hey, I just noticed something really cool. When you select a site-searching spell to cast, like Dark Knowledge, it starts out with a default target, right? It appears that the default target is chosen by the auto site-searching algorithm, i.e. an unsearched province for the site type in question. That's useful even for people who look to manually cast site-search spells, because you can take that location if you like the look and choose another if you don't. Note that it senses somehow when somebody is already ordered to site-search a specific province, so you can "skip" a province by letting somebody be ordered to search that province (e.g. a capital) even if you're going to change that order later.

Cool beans, says I.
