Not sure of the exact numbers. I guess it works like this:

Magic: (site freq) + 30
Waste: (site freq) + 20
Swamp: (site freq) + 20
Mountain: (site freq) + 10
Forest: (site freq) + 10
Farm: (site freq) - 20

Only the most beneficial counts.

If site: Check what site. Random.
If site not possible: Reroll.
If site unique and already in the game: Reroll.
If site possible and rare: Reroll once.

Many nature sites are common but restricted to forests etc.

Unique sites are also rare or common. Inkpot end is unique and common. Crown of Darkness is rare.

No blood under water IIRC. Not sure about unholy.

Great, thank you Kristoffer - that's exactly inforamtion that I was looking for!

So Mountains and Forests are actually less beneficial than Swamps and Wastes? Interesting, it is contrary to common belief that Mountains are the best land for magic sites. It is very good to know, and it also changes my entire sitesearching strategy, since I always tried to search Mountains first.


I take it that "Magic" is some very rare and highly magical terrain type that exist on some maps? Haven't seen it yet, have been playing mostly on Aran/Orania/Karan/Inland maps so far.
