Default Re: Site Searching: What do you use?

I always try to get a province site searched by at least lvl 2 mages using indi and national mages.
After that I use the searching spells on those provinces who still have a good chance of having sites.(for example mountains/swamps where my mages found only 0-1 sites.)

An exception are underwater provinces, those always get the voice of tiamat + haruspex treatment, without having mages search first. And provinces with odd scales and/or unrest get searched remotely too.

By far the best type of site searchers are rainbow mages like the Tien Chi Celestial Master, the independent Enchantresses and others that have multiple randoms
I agree. It all depends on my nation/setup/independants I find what to use for searching.

WRT blood sites:

Yes there are very few blood sites that are worth anything. However the two that are worth some are so insanely powerful that you really have to search for them ( Mount Chaining and Summoning Circle ). Both of these sites can easily change a game even in the last stages.
