Being able to recruit villains is actually pretty awesome when playing on a NI map though.

I kind of like the negative sites. They add atmosphere! Even Inkpot End can be used strategically for defense. If an invading opponent doesn't know it's there, you can try to channel him into the province and then kill his commanders.

Crown of Darkness gives you 40% off GoR, that's always worth it.

I'd like to see a site that causes insanity in visiting armies, even just a small % chance would be nice.

Almost any of the disease sites (Inkpot End, Chillsick Swamp, Leper Fens, Plaguewater Stream, Pool of Unhealthy Rites and Crown of Darkness) make provinces unusable unless you have lots of undead or demons.

Add immortal being and units with recuperation (the thing that recovers from afflictions) to the list. I'd love to have one such site in a game with pangaea.

Are there any other sites besides Vale of Infinite Horror that give horror marks, and what search finds the Vale? I'm getting Horror Marks in one of my games, i can't find the source, and it sure seems like it's got to be more than 1%.

It could be the items that you're using with hidden markers, or other even stranger mechanics. I got horror marked on my Lich one time where I think it might have actually been from casting Send Horror.

Sites that give out horror marks are listed in the DB. They are usually blood sites, though some astral sites do that too. Some items do it as well, e.g. lightless lantern and several artifcats.

I got Inkpot End in a game as LA R'yleh. I've been funneling all the free chaff from areas that I don't need it in to there. It's helping keep upkeep costs down.

What site could be increasing my death scale?
I've already searched water, earth, astral, and death.

Fire is one option. Desert of Bones increases Death. So does Dying Forest (Nature).

Another question about magic sites : I've found 2 sites in a solo game, one with "Enchantment bonus : 20" and another with "Evocation bonus : 20".

How does this bonus work ????

Re: Name That Magic Site
 
Easy, all evocation and enchantment rituals will cost you 20% less gems. So a 20 gem enchantment ritual will cost you 16 gems on a enchantment bonus: 20 site. You must of course cast the ritual with a mage that is located in the province with the site.
