Quick question on when magic sites generated

[Edi]

It's not quite that simple. Sites are assigned in a game during the game creation phase BEFORE any map file specific instructions are applied. What this means is that unless the map file instructions for a given province do not include #killfeatures, randomly generated sites are applied first and scripted sites will only appear if there are enough free slots in the province.

If the map file has #killfeatures for a province, only scripted sites can ever appear there, since #killfeatures wipes out all the randomly generated sites.

there are also a few events which will add a site after the fact.

Actually, modding that site could be cool....

Ah - that throws some more light on it.

I played a map for the second time and I could have sworn that although the magic sites were virtually identical there was one small but significant difference in a particular site.

I thought that it was my memory playing tricks. Or perhaps some well deserved punishment for being so lame as to replay a map with some of the mystery removed.
