Yup. Modify 39.

You can change the look of a site by changing the #level of the site. 0,1,2+ all give different pictures.

Yup. Any level 2 or above earth site will have the same picture.

Unfortunately no. But remember, you can always change the path of a site and give it the same properties. For instance, if you wanted your site to be an earth site with a fire site picture you could just give it all the earth site properties and set the #path 0 #level (x).

and there is a way to look for all this site looks without making a game and searching for them all?

Yes there is. I can't find the original thread, and I cannot remember the author, but here is a handy picture with all the site graphics that someone created.

Yes and no. You could use map editing to place specific sites in specific provinces, and make them known from the start (meaning they don't have to be searched.) However, you'd still need to go over to the province in question and capture it. (Or at least send a scout; if all you care about is the icons, and you know which sites are which path, you may not need to actually capture the province.) Note that since you're editing the map, you could make the province defense pushovers (or even empty.)

Just to clarify, I didn't create that image. Someone else did. A quick search of the forum and the "tools and utilities" thread did not turn up the original thread. That is a copy I saved to my hard drive in case I lost my bookmarks, which I did temporarily when I upgraded my PC to 6 raided SSDs for a little more speed. I have just been too lazy to reload my bookmarks.

When I do, I will give the original creator credit!
