Any way to spot natural wonders?
In Civ V, toggling the resource icons also showed icons for natural wonders so it was easier to spot them. Is there a way to turn on icons for natural wonders in this game? My apostles have promotions that give them extra spreads if passing by natural wonders but I can't easily spot them while playing

I had the same problem. I dunno why its so hard to find Natural Wonders on the map that you've already discovered. I must be missing something painfully obvious to make this a non issue cause you are the only other person I know of to complain about this...

i find that i have to play with resource yield being shown, and of course the nat wonders boost tiles in this game so i only notice them when I see alot of resources in an area...or wierd resources like culture or science bonuses in the middle of some plains

You can put a pin on 'em.

Did they have an icon (other than when discovered) in Civ5? I don't think they did.

Yeah the icons were shown when Resource Icons were turned on.

Weird, I played with resource icons on all the time, and don't remember seeing them except when discovered. My memory must be playing tricks on me.

Not much help, but if you get a great person who does his special action while standing on or adjacent to a natural wonder (Charles Darwin is one example) then all those hexes will be highlighted when you have your great person selected.

The best way I found was to go to map options and disable all but "Natural Wonders Labels". This way you just have to scan the map for those black labels.

Captain here: Right above the minimap there's a magnifying glass for "Map Search". Just type "Natural Wonder" in there then use the UI left-right buttons to cycle between all wonders you have found.

Came here to respond with this. Correct and well stated.

You can use the "Map Search" to locate natural wonders and other items.

there should be a Magnifing glass above the map, if you type in "Natural Wonder" it should highlight all of them, and provide a "X ammount of results" and arrows that let you cycle them.

You can also use it to find "Tribal Villages", "Great people" (if you put them to sleep mode and forgot about them like i did with my writer when i didnt have any great work slots open lol) and others, I normally use it to help find specific Strategic resources like Oil.

Edit: I dont remember if they fixed it, but im 70% certain you can search for Strategic resources you have'nt discovered yet. So you can search "Oil" and then plop a city near the tile, then when you discover the technology to mine oil you can start harvesting it

I don't remember if this is vanilla or part of the mod I'll link, but in the Lens section above mini-map, select the wonders selection and then you'll see all natural wonders and built wonders highlighted in two different colors to easily distinguish them from each other. Here is that mod if the wonders lens is not vanilla:

lol, crap, this is an ancient thread.... sorry mods!
