I am 100% certain that site search was switched off for Tapanete (120) and Aenasia (294) before sites were discovered. I didn't bother to present any other locations because it is tedious and because I wanted to use example locations where sites were found spite the games desire to pass them up.
I'm sorry to have pushed your buttons. Please remember that you have an order of magnitude more data than I do about your situation; I only know what you post. The algorithm still obviously applies to Province Dumna, because it has two sites and there is no "before sites were found" since you never searched it (it's 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0). Province Tapanete, Hamane, and Aenasia: you're saying that these were *never* auto-targeted even when there were zero known sites (1 known site in the case of Hamane). I would write that up in the bug discussion thread.

As much as I would love to see this stuff, looking at the progress page and the space of time between patch releases I would say its abit early for anything other than a "pretty please" request for anything real soon.

Gandalf,

Yeah, true. I was slavering over the last fix to monthly site searching for weeks (months?) before it got released. Since I only play about 1 turn of Dominions per day lately, though, waiting a month isn't a big deal for me.

You didn't push any buttons and I'm sure that maybe only half of my examples are actually cases where the algorithm fails.

Still, after all that, I feel that my first statement way back in the beginning is legitimate. The part where I said the selection is a bit flawed, which is separate from saying it is broken by the way.

As for the patch, I can stand to wait if it means it will be loaded with a handful of more goodies. Nothing on that list screams "gotta have it!"

Turns out I had a corrupt installation. After I re-installed the game and patched to latest version,it works fine.
So I can wait as long as it takes for a patch because the games not bugged,it was corrupted by the RanDom program somehow.

I'm back in buisness.

@Skirmisher,

That's great! I'm glad it worked.
