It's even worse than you may think - you may lose a leader to Burden of Time or The Wrath of God, and not figure it out until you need this leader a couple turns later. Once I realized I had lost my Crone to The Wrath of God only when I noticed the [edit: Call God] option on my priests...

Since you bring up auto- stuff. Am I the only person who has wished that the Shft-M for spell casting was available for forging? There are times when I have decided that Im going to start needing rings of poison protection and I want to assign some minor mage to make them until I run out of gems the same way I can with telling them to call vinemen.

Yes to auto forging.

More often with research boosters or gem producers if I'm hoarding. Bags of Wine. Earth boots as Ulm.

It would be really nice

I'd like auto-forging as well. Mainly for Earth / Messenger boots, Ivy Crowns, and Owl Quills.

Or at least something that says "Mage X forged such-and-such", with "Goto this commander" so you're reminded of what they were forging and can redo it.
