more information on rivals Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

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?

I completely agree with this idea. Since the original release of the game, I hope to see a complete information screen about foreign Civ, which sums up all the info available in other separate screens

As of today, it is especially tedious to know the reationship between Civs when there are more than 8 of them.

The info, I'd really like to find out is "Who is supplying them with resources."

I play with 24 civs, so I always have no idea, who is the third party.

i don't think you should need to build a wonder for it at all, you should get it automatically if you meet them... or maybe with an embassy. you CAN find out the information anyway in the diplomacy screen, to see what techs they will trade and stuff like that, but it takes a very long time.

hi ,

the " who is supplying the with resources " is definatly something for the intel agency , it should cost a small fee and would only be valid for an X number of turns , ......

this would also be great for wars , imagine saying to one civ or player ( MP ) ; " civ A is selling behind our backs uranium to civ B and C " , .......

have a nice day

Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

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.

Why can't you buy the American version over seas?

You would get it faster, and patched quicker.

Although I'm not sure what that has to do with this topic

I don't know if Firaxians continue to read Apolyton, now that the Conquests section has become slow...
