is there a way to preview potential nature park ?

[nitedemon]

I spent 1600 faith on a naturalist just to realized I have exploited every last bit of conservable land in my kingdom. Is there a way to know if there is any possible spots before you actually build one ?

Not unless you do a census of undeveloped tile for high appeal yourself.

I fell into the same trap. Fortunately, I did have one area I could use in a suboptimal location.

The next time I have enough Faith for a Naturalist I will review possible locations and see if I can purchase a few tiles to make a good park.

if you check the civilopedia, it tells you all the criteria for a natural park. From memory, you need 4 hexes in a diamond shape that is unworked land with a certain appeal, mountains can work. Also, when you click on the naturalist, the game will draw a white border on any available natural park area.

It should be able to remove improvements... maybe not districts, but definitely improvements
(and the National Park itself should be reversible...in case you suddenly find oil/Uranium/aluminum there.... or you just want an extra spot.)

You can remove improvements to build a natural park. Just bulldoze with builder.

What it doesn't tell you is it must be a vertical diamond, and water is apparently the most unappealing thing in the universe, except the great barrier reef and the galapagos islands. Well, unless the water is frozen. Then people love it.

Ed Beach must really hate the ocean.

Ya I knew that but it gets really tedious to canvas the whole map. Also if you bought a naturalist to view it , it could be already to too late. My point is, there is no reason why the "can built park" is not made into one of the lenses.

It kinda is. Use the appeal lense and look for green diamonds without improvements.

For anyone that wonders how it looks like when you are able to build the National Park.

 

[lamaros]

Yeah, just put yourself in strategy overview (I play the whole game in this view, actually), and go into the appeal lens. Makes spotting applicable ares very easy.

Easiest spots are with three mountains and one land, in my experience.

 

[TheGrumpyBuddha]

Haven't been able to make it work myself, even with seeming to meet the prereqs. Unless it's Charming(3) and not Charming(2).

 

[Iron Angel]

It needs to be 'Breathtaking' which is the dark green, and/or 'Charming' which is the one that is just slightly tinted green.

 

[Iron Angel]

Like this.



The green lines that surround the diamond shape is the actual park after placed.

Built mine with Crater Lake as America. Had to remove a coal mine unfortunately. Too bad I didn't have Yellowstone, could have got the achievement, but dead sea was my other natural wonder, and New York had neighborhood right next to it I didn't want to remove.

I established my national park in the Pantanal natural wonder. It's the gem of my empire.
