Are my councilors suppose to have special options like colonizing ruins and whatnot? Is my game bugged? I am using the SVN

I just noticed that under Oversee Construction there's a chance of discovering ruins.. I just remembered there being other icons, nvm then!
As far as I'm aware, colonisation is the way in EK to change the culture of a country, not to colonise ruins. About the ruins, you can develop them with 200 gold and right clicking any country that has undeveloped ruins to get some nice modifiers. Ruins used to be quite different, with the Steward randomly discovering them and giving a boost for a time. It was fun but it did not make sense sometimes, such as finding Ayleid ruins in Solstheim and such. Currently ruins are fixed and unique to each province, and you don't need your steward to get their benefits.
