Great Wonders: What's your neighbors progress? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

One of the great things I liked about Civ2 and SMAC was a handy screen that told you what Great Wonders your neighbors were working on, and how far away they were from completing it.

I can't find that screen anywhere in Civ3! Where is it? Is it gone? How can I find out 1. what they're building 2. when it's going to be finished?

Establish an embassy, and spy on the city thats building it.

1. How can I find out a.) if they're building a wonder b.) what city is building it?

2. Kind of related question: how can I double-click on their capital (if I haven't traded maps yet (haven't discovered writing)), if they keep yelling at me to get off their land?

Use the F7 key.

You do not double-click on their capital, you double-click the star next to your capital's name. However, you must research Writing before you can set up embassies. Prior to Writing, there is no way to establish embassies or spy on your neighbours.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Also, make sure that you've checked the "Wonder Initiation Pop-Up Box" on the preferences screen. With this box checked, you will get a pop-up notification of any wonder start by any civlization with whom you have established an embassy (but won't be notified if a civ is already working on a wonder when you establish an embassy. It's a good idea to hit F7 each time you establish a new embassy.

The F7 key will then tell you both who is building what in which city, as well as who completed a wonder, when it was finished and where it is located. In order to determine how far along someone is towards building a wonder, you will need to investigate the city, which you can do by clicking the "E" button located along the right side of the unit info box (little box in the lower right corner of the map screen).
