what else is needed?
ok... you know how the ai is allways pissed at you because you broke a deal, but they declared war on you, breaking the deal. FIX THAT

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.

The opportunity to use an english version of Conquest together with an american version oc CivIII and vice versa. I can't belive that I should be forced to buy another copy of CivIII in europe just to be able to buy and use PtW or Conquest!

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

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.

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

Jeff, if you are here, please say hi
