Can i let AI handle something like intelligence?

[TheRomanRuler]

So very first Paradox strategy game i played was HOI3. I had no idea what to do. But luckily, i could let AI handle most of it and experiment with features one by one. That is what let me play the game, and why it took so long for me to start playing Victoria 2, and why i still don't play it much. In EU4 and CK2 mechanics are so good that it is not a problem to learn- but there are still mechanics that i don't really care about. Like intelligence, i have never cared about it and likely never will. Could i just please ignore part of the game i don't want to waste time on, and let AI handle it. It takes nothing away expect development time. If i only want to command my armies and ignore intelligence, can i please do that without shooting myself in the foot.
Even in CK2 and EU4 there are constantly stuff i hope i could just ignore. I still enjoy 99% of the game, why do i have to do stuff that i don't enjoy without shooting my foot? Limping gives me undesirable trait, coalitions are formed against me, my population gets +2 militancy and revolt risk is increased by 3%. I don't want that...I just want to enjoy 99% of the game i do love.

I'm pretty sure intelligence has been vastly simplified to the encryption/decryption mechanic or a national goal (note there is no spies anymore in the HOI3 sense) with all the other stuff becoming it's own thing like resistance and such...

So no worries there.

There is no automation in the game. The devs always were unhappy with how things were in HoI III, since if there is a mechanic that people simply automate the mechanic is pointless. Even the combat AI only executes your orders. There is no button to press and it automaticly does it without any input.

• You use political power instead of some arbitrary spies for covert ops actions. It should be noted that those seem to be limited on backing coups with equipment.
• Resistance movements in an enemy state will give you some vital strategic informations if not suppressed, which will even show you enemy troop movement if it gets really bad, besides destroying local factories and sabotaging enemy supply channels. You have no influence over that tho.
• Encryption and Decryption determins how accurate informations you get about the enemy and how well you can defend yourself against it.
