Considering the difficulty in searching for HOLY_4 sites... Illwinter should make these sites very powerful and/or special.

I usually don't bother searching for holy or blood sites. The notable exception is if my undead get blasted by a holy force, that's a sure sign of a holy site.

The Ward fries demons/undead, and also has -10 unrest. Those both would give a good hint to search H4 in that province (if you have an H4 prophet). Unfortunately, once you find it, it doesn't do anything more for you. If they gave an unrest modifier, or scale adjustment (Order?) to the Temple of Time, it would be easier to find too.

Both can be found with Acashic Record, not that I use that spell. I think some people do though. You'd break even on the Temple of Time after a year, with Acashic Record.

Edit: If your undead are being struck by holy fire, then you should search for H2/H4. If they are being struck by holy force, you need to search for N3 or A3.

It's generally just a bonus for nations with mages with H magic as well as other searchable paths, I wouldn't go out of the way to search for holy in most cases.

I would definitely search underwater, especially as R'yleh with all their freespawn 1H priests.

If I've sent out a priest to spread dominion, then once he reaches the dominion limit attainable by preaching, I usually have him spend one turn to search for H sites in that province if there's nothing else urgent I need him for.
