Why is the auto explore function so brain dead? The most tedious aspect of the game is moving your scouts around the map exploring the layout. It just begs for automation. However, the auto explore function is so stupid that I'm afraid to use it. Even when there is a way around a monster, the auto explore function won't take it. Instead it frequently moves your scout right up next to the monster where it is immediately killed. Being a software engineer myself, I can't see how it would be all that difficult to program some intelligence into this function.
