I have used it as a fun feature though. To randomly scatter magic sites. Or set the .map file to fill in certain locations that appear special on the map with sites that were not fantastic but abit of use, just to make sure that location was maxxed out with 4 sites. Since the game re-randomized each time I played, the results were different each time but always ended up four. Sometimes the game put 4 randoms there. Sometimes 3, and one of my fills would kick in. Sometimes 2 randoms and 2 of my fills would kick in.
That's really a brilliant idea Gandalf. I had always seen the feature/killfeature thing as a bit of a kludge, but now I see it as truly elegant. Thank you for that.
