has anyone else found themselves going to the diplomacy screen for every civ just to check what techs they have? it would be nice if there was a screen that had all the civs on it and what you know about them. going to the diplomacy screen for every civ takes a VERY long time.
think we could see this in conquests?

Here's what I think should happen
Aside from what is already there, they should add 2 things. A slight change to the science advisor, and an embassy screen.
In the science advisor screen, if a civ you have contact with has a technology that you don't, that technology is shaded red (like it is shaded blue if you have it, and green if you are researching it). This is a very easy, un-cluttered way to glance at a chart and know instantly what you need to know.
The other is an embassy screen. You simply change to the screen from the Foreign Minister screen. It will have tiny versions of every leaderhead on the screen at once. Double-click on the leaderhead and it will bring up a report on them. It will show all the techs they have (highlighting techs you don't). It will show all resources they have and don't have. It will show who they are trading with, and all diplomatic relations with other nations (It won't have those colored lines, though). This could all be done with just an embassy (It seems powerful, but ambassadors could actually do these things in real-life). I know they added something for PTW, but I don't know what since I don't have the game , so I appoligize if I'm saying anything they already have.

that would be very useful. ok, who wants to petition firaxis to do this?

All good ideas. And they wouldn't be hard to implement either. I would hope they are listening and taking notes.
