Default Re: Magic Site Idea Thread

List of changes I made to the sites (I hope I didn't miss anything important):

Not added
  • Slave Market: two suggestions with same name combined into one with recruitable Mictlan slave and resource bonus
  • Abandoned Village: near-duplicate of Haunted Village, so I didn't add it
  • Unleashed Death: no event to release it
  • Forest of Devouring Darkness: Are you really going to give recruitable Mandahas (600gp per size 6 flying, 65-hp Darkness-casting air 3 death 3 holy 3 mage) for anyone lucky enough to find the site? IMO, it's too powerful.
  • Mohenjo-daro: not added (how do I price undead creatures?)
  • Pays Cathare: not added. Forester is a commander, not 25-gp infantry archer... Did you mean LA Ulm Ranger? I couldn't find Perfecti at all.

Various changes/alterations
  • Shrine of Sombre: Bog Beasts are 35 gp.
  • Ancient Glacier: generates 1 Water gem instead of 3
  • Mass Grave: 2 D gems instead of 3
  • Garden of Crystal Fruits: only four features max, so 1E1F1S and 50 gp gold bonus, left out 1A1W. Changed to Earth since there are so many Astral 4 sites.
  • Hydraulis of Ctesibuis: generates 1 Air gem
  • Endless Depthless Bottomless: kepts as the Kraken version, since Kraken Pit only has "water mage may enter to summon" Krakens.
  • Infernal Brothel: I didn't know how to price Succubi, and then I thought of Pratchett, and then I just had to do a Guild of Seamstresses. Imperial Consorts (spies), Hinnom Lilot (unit 2071, 101g seducer) and and Fortune Tellers, +25 gold.
  • Throne of Wild Magic: Fire 4 site that grants 2 Fire, 1 Air, 1 Water, 1 Earth gem, instead of a site that adds 1 of each gem type and random ritual bonuses.

Insignificant changes and name changes:
  • Green Glass Tower -> Tower of Green Glass
  • Burned Library -> Scorched Library (I'm not sure which sounds better)
  • Decayed Palace: Barbarian Chief -> Barbarian Lord (10 gp more, better ldrship, usually only seen in events)
  • Mushroom Village: in both forests and caves
  • Pool of Flames -> Pool of Liquid Fire
  • Inn of Adjective Substantive-> Adjective Substantive Inn


EDIT:
In its current form, the mod adds 16 level 4 sites:
2 F, 5! A, 2 W, 2 E sites for elementals,
one for each sorcery path (SDNB), and one for Holy.

Question: Should Holy sites be limited to Holy 3, max? That way, all nations would have equal chance of finding them, instead of restricting the best Holy sites to nations casting Acashic Record.

Question 2: Should both "good" and "evil" sites be Holy (= no affiliation with magic), or should "good" sites be Holy and "evil" sites Blood?
