Problems in demo exist in regular game?

But there should be a way for scouts to be able to search for such units with greatly increased risk of their own detection(but good odds of getting the information before they are killed)

There is a way. Just set your scout to attack the province, with orders to retreat.

That said, an in-game database about units and so on would be quite handy. And the huge difference between a (perfect) battle report and a scout report is disconcerting.

It takes 10+ minutes to generate a map. Most of this time is drawing borders.(which it does twice for some reason) Especially as it gets closer and closer to the end of the bar. One time it froze up, I went to bed having it drawing borders and woke up 8 hours latter to the same. The program froze up requiring a hard reset.

I have the regular game patched to 3.04, but the generating time problem is always present, it is very long, too much for me as i frankly prefer to not have to wait so many minutes before being able to play when launch D3. That's why i don't play random maps anymore after 2 tries.

Fortunately the stock and user created maps are superb and well thought enough to provide all the entertainment i need with D3.

But it would be really nice if it was possible for the map generator to work a lot quicker.
