I disagree, I have played over a 100 games of Dom3 now and I have not seen this special province, that is far, far too rare. There is no point in having something in the game if it never turns up or the chance is 1 in a 1000 or higher. Making them uncommon would keep such provinces special and spice the game up more.

I think there IS a point to it: the game can throw something totally unexpected at you even after you've played over a hundred games. It'd be nice if there were enough unique sites, mainly those of mediocre rewards and mediocre defenders, to make these provinces just uncommon instead of incredibly rare, but that isn't the case.

Shame the vast majority of players will have stopped playing Dom3 before this happens thou.

The best solution would be leave it upto the game player to decide, by giving the gamer the option when setting up the game. For example, Special Provinces which you can set from common, uncommon, rare, very rare, none.
