If that cap is reached, which it clearly can, then all other messages are lost and scouting information, such as the strength and type of nearby indy provinces, is lost with it. Everyone in the Kingmaker is diving blindly into provinces with no information available all because over 21 nations in a 60 player game made a prophet.

This seems to me not to be so much a UI problem as a problem with all the seemingly arbitrary limits in Dom3.
Dominions 3 does not scale well at all. The game has a unit cap, a message cap, and who knows what else there are caps on. This is totally unnecessary from a programmer's point of view. Why are there caps? Sure, the size of the data is less controlled without these caps. But reaching the unit cap kills a game anyway, so it's not like the cap actually contributes anything besides killing the games it deems to be "too large to handle" just because they reached some arbitrary cap.
