Civilization 7 is getting auto-explore for scouts, reminding me that I both hate and love auto-explore

The next major Sid Meier's Civilization VII update will make some fairly sizeable tweaks to Firaxis' latest, not-greatest 4X strategy sim. It'll rearrange the workings of age transitions, with a view to providing a bit more continuity between epochs and helping you finish your to-do list before crossing the threshold. We can expect a new commander, too - Trưng Nhị, sister to existing Vietnamese leader Trưng Trắc.

Perhaps most significantly, the feature will re-introduce auto-explore mechanics for scouts. This piques my interest, inasmuch as I haven't ever thought critically about auto-explore mechanics, and now that I do, I realise I regard them with a mixture of enthusiasm and spite.
