Questions about a game in progress

[Cainehill]

While I'm not happy with auto-site-searching only being good for one search per path per turn, it _does_ sometimes have an excuse for targetting capitols. With a number of hand-crafted maps, your capitol could be right on top of a hidden
magic site. This lead to reading the .map file to see if there's something good in your capitol, and then manually searching for it.

I doubt it's anything that calculated. My impression is that it sometimes searches capitals and sometimes skips them. It also occasionally ignores other provinces.

My suspicion is that the capital problem is by nation. Some nations capitals are always searched, some are never, but I haven't confirmed that. Which would mean a flaw in whatever it's using to determine what is a capital?

I've noticed that auto-search seems to skip any province that's been searched at -any- level in that path, even if the previous search level is less than 4 (let alone 9). It's a bit galling if, say, you're EA TC.
