I was wondering if there is a rule about how many different colored sites you can have in a deck. I know you can no more sites than there is LS in your deck, but is there any restriction on what colors the sites have to be?

Nope. You can have as many different colored sites as you want, as long as the number of sites doesn't exceed the number of Lost Souls in your deck.

What Gabe said is probably the most common strategy nowadays, but historically people have also tried to use all/mostly the same color sites, and then have a defense that works well against that color offense. This is especially common with defenses that benefit from certain generic sites (Persians with Lion's Den or Media, Canaanites with Sodom, and any defense with Babylonian Banquet Hall and several Babylons).

NT defenses usually benefit the most from a variety of site colors (due to the special abilities on the sites from Di).

You can put an empty site into battle as site access for an occupied site of the same color in an opponent's land of bondage.

On that: At what point can I put the hero in the site? Is it when I declare the attacker?

the hero doesnt actually go in the site, the site just comes into battle with you when you declare a rescue attempt. If the rescue attempt is successful, then the site goes back to the land of bondage. If you die, then the site is discarded too.

I see. But if it has to be an empty site, wouldn't it come from the site pile, not the LoB?

Yes. Sites are only in your land of bondage while they have a lost soul in them.

yeah, triple play is right. Oops   
when i play, most people just put the sites in their LoB, even without souls in them. i forgot that they are technically supposed to be in your site pile.

Thanks everyone!
