Default Is This Possible?

I was just wondering if anyone else seen this phenomena since I can't claim it is a bug only from my limited testing:
If the Green Dragon pretender (supposedly, other pretenders as well) in his human form, he can't find any sites, but if he searches in his dragon form, he is able to find sites.
I think this is true because I had a SP game where my Green Dragon pretender site searched ~10 provinces in human form and 1 in Dragon form, the only site he found was when he was in the dragon form.
The site frequency is 50 BTW.
This might be coincidence, but I was just wondering if this is possible since I remember hearing someone else that had trouble finding sites in whatever the Green Dragon's human form is called (I forgot =P).

Hm. I use red and blue dragons from time to time, and at least with the red dragon I'm sure I found sites while in human form.

This seems to make not much sense; dragon human forms are BETTER than their dragon forms at magic, which is the determining factor for site searching.

So if this is happening it is a bug.

To prove it:
Make a new game and save the original turnfile (i.e. first turn).

Go site-search in human form. Save every turn as you do this.

Then go back and site-search in dragon form too. Save every turn until you find a site that wasnt found in human form.

Then zip up the whole mess of turns and send it to illwinter.

By this point you will have either provided IW enough information to find and fix the bug, or else convinced yourself it doesn't actually exist.

Sounds like a good idea, I will perform it tomorrow probably, after I wake up =P (actually, since its almost 2PM its TODAY).
Anyway, I was asking merely because I remember someone saw the same thing with his arch-druid if IIRC (where the Druid with 3N couldn't find a site that another 2N mage found).
I might have been horrbily confused though =P
-Reports will come in tomorrow-
