Default Re: Question to developers - magic sites

I don't think you can get the level of optimiztion you're looking for. From long experience, the type of magic site found isn't correlated to the type of terrain strongly enough to make any real difference, if at all. For instance, one might think that Earth sites might be most likely to be found in mountains, or nature sites in forests, but this does not appear to be the case.
You are mistaken Truper. There are a lot of Earth sites that appear [/b]only[/b] in mountains. Considering the mechanic Dominion uses to allocate magic sites in provinces (which was explained by Kristoffer), this results in Mountains being the best terrain to look for Earth sites. The difference is subtle, but it's noticable.

(I've checked the sites list to confirm it)
