At least in Dom I, if memory serves the way the 'site frequency' deal worked was that there was an X probability of having _one_ site there, and as long as the check said 'yes' another roll with the same probability took place to possibly add another one, up to a maximum of four.

If so, a 50% chance would mean:
8/16 have 0
4/16 have 1
2/16 have 2
1/16 have 3
1/16 have 4

My way would be:
1/16 have 0
4/16 have 1
6/16 have 2
4/16 have 3
1/16 have 4

Quick test in Dom 2-
Searched 16 provinces with 9 magic mages, and found:
1 with 0
4 with 1
7 with 2
2 with 3
2 with 4

I did some larger tests way back when and that's when I came up with my theory on how it's done - seems to hold true now. The swamp/mountain/etc increasing % to find a site further makes this really tough to discern without some feedback from the authorities on this...
