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 %.

I see. Without hard numbers, do you by any chance know if Forest is better than Waste/Swamp for finding magic sites? And is it correct that Mountains give you best modifier for finding magic sites? And what about sea provinces - are they the same as "Plains" as far as magic sites frequency is concerned (0 modifier)?

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.

Hmm. Anybody else have some info on it? I always tried to search mountain/forest provinces first when I had the choice, beacuse I assumed that positive modifiers somehow add to each other. But I have no idea if it is really the case.

And what about let's say Mountain/Farmland province? Is it better than Plains or worse for magic searching?

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). [/qb]

But what sites does not fit "4 magical sites" criteria? Any site that doesn't ptoduce magic gems? Sites that comes from random events? Some "level 0" sites found automatically like Arena?
