And another screenshot that explains appeal, for those of you who want to start planning your National Parks already:

Thanks a lot, elitetroops -- great information!

I really find it interessting that appeal is not only influenced by (quasi)static factors like landscape and improvements but also by pillaged tiles!
It is intuitive - there will be less tourism in ruins - and it is also some means to delay a cultural victory. Carpet pillage to reduce appeal a LOT.

Hm, that also makes me wonder — what happens if a National Park contains an archaeological site within its borders? Does that tile get extra appeal? Does it lose that appeal if the site is excavated and the artifact removed? I know this is all kind of subtle, but I can't help thinking about it...

so wait, mines and lumber mills don't make places less appealing?

National parks need unimproved tiles.

National parks need unimproved tiles.

Yes, the Civilopedia entry says "No tile can have an improvement or a district on it." But what about an archaeological site with the relic removed? Would that count as an 'improvement'?

archaeological site have no effect on appeal
