Odd, that I didnt see this mentioned by anyone so far.

It has, but it's been a while (months).

It makes me wonder too about the following:
- Why then does the AI go about producing and sending in scouts to my provinces?
- What good does the Eyes of God spell do for the AI (which astral AI nations love to cast)?

Because without such actions, the AI only knows what provinces you own, not what you have in them. Scouts/Eyes lets the AI actually see into the province.

The equivalent is if you were in an MP game and some player told you that another player owned a certain province far away from you for which you had no normal means to know was under his control. So, you would know the ownership of said province, but know no other information about it. However, were you to send a scout over there, or cast the Eyes spell, then you would get more info.
