Unknown magic sites in starting provinces?

DarkTears · #1 March 17th, 2004, 09:54 AM

My question is simple: Is there any chance to have unknown magic sites in starting provinces?

No. Starting provinces have your nation/theme's sites only and never random ones. It makes sense when you realize you could be stuck with something like a Chillsick Swamp or Inkpot End or heck, someone could start with something like Shining Mound and get extra extremely nice sacred troops from their capital. Would be extremely unbalancing.

Yes, but what if you got more starting provinces? (like 3)

Yes, those provinces aside from your capital could (and in Orania often do) have random sites.

I have played games where capitals have acquired copper mines and iron mines from events.

Yeah, I have that happen, too. But those aren't really unknown magic sites in your starting province.

Well I didn't know about them until after the event happened... seems like an unknown magic site to me.

They didn't EXIST until after the event happened. They weren't unknown, they were nonexistent.

If they were unknown and nonexistent, that still means that no unknown sites existed, or in other words there were no unknown sites.

To say that there 'were' some 'nonexistent unknown sites' is the sort of 'logic' that should have NTYoda whip any putative NTJedi back to NTPreSchool.
