Correct though there can be map modifiers (with the .map commands).

Now does anybody know how much Mountains and each other "good" land types add to this 50% chance?
|
Alot? I'd say a good average is 3/4 of the slots are filled. Though I have no hard #'s, if JO or KO feel the need they may post the %.

Also what are the calculations if there are more than one terrain type present? Do they add? Multiply? (Like in case of Mountain/Forest/Farmland province for example)
|
From my using the commands it only adds a certain terrain type to the seed for possible magical site types. I haven't seen any more frequent Magic Sites in a terrain labeled Forest/Mountain. Though it could reasonably be a seperate % based on each terrain type.

Usually I cast 8 water gems underwater spell on each of my water provinces as soon as I can, but should I also cast all non-elemental type of search spells, looking for nature, death, astral, blood? Obviosly there are different names for the magic sites on the survace and underwater, but is overall effect still the same? Or do sea provinces tend to have more water-producing sites but less nature (or other types) producing sites?

You can have nature, astral, death and blood underwater, they just have a different set of seeded magical sites.

And Last question - I think it is possible for province to contain more than 4 different sites, I've seen it now and than. Does it only happen due to random event (like with random event that gives you new Mine site for example, or Earth Caves, etc.)? Or "magic level 0 sites" (the one that you detect automaticallly when you conquer the province - like Library, Arena, etc.) do not count toward "max 4 sites per province" limit. Or both?

1 Fort, 1 Lab, 1 Temple, 4 Magical Sites (everything else that doesn't fit those).
