Here's the "problem" needing solved: The long scouting times you get to when you get to about chapter 15 (some would say earlier). This problem often results in not having any provinces to do when you get the quest to solve X number of encounters and there is no tournament going on. I once had to way Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in the midst of an event before I could do the next quest, which required I do X number of encounters or tournament encounters. Because my scouting takes so long I can't keep provinces ready to explore.
Solution: An evolving building where each evolution shortens the scouting by X percent. I'd max it out at 50%, but it would be very much worth it. You would feed it at the beginning of a scout and it would last for 5 days.
Pros:
1) The ridiculously long scouting times would be reduced and thus the player would run out of provinces to do less often.
2) The addition of a type of benefit not currently available. No buildings that I know of enable a shorter scouting time. (Of course if there are and I missed it, this whole thread is less needed, right?)
Cons:
1) Coding, of course.
Discussion.
As to coding, since they already compute the scouting times by looking at all the things that contribute to the length of the scout (mostly the research done), about two lines of code would need to be added, "Does the person have the building?" and "Has it been fed?"
