Re: Magic sites questions
Magic is a terrain switch. Changes have been made to the game which didnt get to the documentation. Or if you are like me you might have gotten an error when it tried to update the docs, and the patch skipped that.
The #terrain command is a number created by adding together the numerics for everything that can be said to apply to that province. And as Kristoffer mentioned, apparently these are not cumulative as to the random roll. The best one is whats used in deciding what plus to add to a sites roll. As far as I know this is the latest up-to-date list of terrain switches.....
nothing (defaults to plains) 0
small 1
large 2
sea 4
fresh water 8
mountain 16
swamp 32
waste 64
forest 128
farm 256
nostart 512 - for islands and special provinces
manysites 1024 - increased site frequency
So if province 9 is a plains, small, no-start then the map has it a "#Terrain 9 513" (0+1+512) and it you wanted to add a higher chance of magic sites then you would add 1024 to that and make it "#terrain 9 1537"
