Re: Finding enemy searched magic sites.
Jazzepi, you are right that 1-site provinces will be more frequent than 4-site provinces, for the reasons you stated.
But you are discounting the fact that we know there are 2 sites discovered in the province, at the point the auto-searcher stops searching.
Given that Province 1 is unsearched, the probability of a least one site available to be found is the site frequency.
Given that Province 2 has been searched and 2 sites have been found, the probability of at least one more site available to be found is also the site frequency. The province is guaranteed to have passed the first 2 site existence checks.
Since site searching is done by path, though, the chance of finding a site in a specific path in Province 2 is slightly lower than the chance of finding a site in Province 1. That's because Province 1 has 4 potential sites, but Province 2 only has 2 potential sites.
But Province 2 is still worth searching IMO.
