Scout-triggered Wars and Longest Game

[Karacan]

The micromanagement is still there, but its gotten a lot better since Dom I. First off, you don't have to manually tax your provinces anymore to remain competitive - excess taxes of more than 100% seldom make sense anymore.
Second, the leader-overview helps you finding lost scouts quickly without having to go through all provinces on the map.
Third, the provinces now thankfully remember the paths of magic you used to search them. No more tedious excel-tables running in the background...

Helps a lot to tone down micromanagement. And you can store orders for leaders, you can assign a bunch of mages to cast rituals with two mouseclicks, and a lot of other nice features that drop down the micromanagement to bearable levels.
