Fallout Magic site modding: is it possible... (mod Absolute Ermor)

I'm doing a mod: Absolute Ermor, focused on this nation.
My fists purpose was to rejuvenate Triari and Praetorian Guard (45, 48 respectively), then i gather enthusiasm: I've modded the apperance of velites, alae legionaries and princeps now very well recognizable; after that a beauty treatment for the Thaumaturg and the introduction of the new unit: Equites.

Now, I'd like to improve the role-playing depth of the other units and to make that, I nedd to to create a new magic site that:


1) is not unique but is searchable (easy, I can do it)
2) is not a starting magic site (easy, I don't set it in the nation starting site list)
3) is EXCLUSIVELY searchable from unit of an unique nation (what can I do???? )

I read two times the modding documentation but I didn't find anything to obtain 3)

If I create a site searchable, anyone of any nation can look for it.
In detail I like to create a magic site "Colosseum" searchble only by the Ermor units but that is not a strating site of the Ermor province; in detail, the "colosseum" can be appear only in province governed by Ermor.

Is it possible? How?
Thanks and sorry for english,
Fosforo

You can't do it without modifying the map file depending on who owns the province, so it's essentially impossible.

Well that's not strictly true. It can be done, just not cleanly.

You could give ermor a H10 unit or something and have the site only findable with H10, I believe. That raises other issues, which then have 'non clean' solutions.

This is oft the way in modding.
