how can I see how foreign civs get along?

[cgrecu77]

I was curious if there is a way of knowing how various civs get along. When playing a map with many continents and in the middle of the game I start encountering other civs, usually in the space of a few turns I get to meet almost everybody. Then I start trading techs with them and suddenly I discover that everybody is mad at me because I traded with their worst enemy ... By then I wish I could apologise but it's kind of too late - and if I have my own religion they're usually at -7 against me ... Because living in a world where everybody hates your guts ain't easy, I would appreciate a way to tell how they feel for each other ...

My best guess at this point is to avoid trading with aggressive guys because usually they're hated by everybody ...

If you go to the Foreign Advisor and click on one of the other leaders, the display will change to show what the other civs think of that leader.

You can also ask them in diplomacy:

Lets talk about something else....

What do you think of...

(lists other civs)

This gives a more personal approach and gets some funny responses as well
