Shift-m is to set up searching every month. You dont have to do it each time you take a province unless you are in a hurry to know about that one province. Hovering over a caster will tell you what province he is searching next so you can check

Notice that the AI tends to put archers to the flanks. Not straight behind his main army so they have to fire over their heads at enemy they cant see.

Also notice that AI tends to put cavalry on flanks. Often with "hold then attack" orders

Gandalf, how long have you been playing this game?

Units DO NOT block line of sight. Archers DO NOT check line of sight. Nothing in this game deals with line of sight. At all. This is wholly irrelevant, and YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER.
