A question about embassies...

[JMarshFox]

How can I establish embassies besides when I first discover writing? The game says to double click on the capital city icon, but I've tried this....

If was tricky in CivIII to get to the screen to use embassies. In PTW you could use E from the info box.

But you can create them any time after you learn writing and have the money.

But HOW do you? I've tried double clicking on the capital cities, but it doesn't help...

First check the minimap - there should be several letters in tabs on the Right hand side. If there is an "E" as one of them, click that. That takes you to the Espionage screen, where you set up embassies and spy missions. Click on the civ you want the embassy with and click "Build an embassy", then click "Execute" at the bottom right if you can afford it.

Otherwise, right click on your capital city and choose the Conduct Espionage option there.

Hope this all helps

It can indeed be tricky, you need to double-click the little star(ish)/pentagon like icon right next to the capitals name.
Or use the options mentioned above.

Thanks, guys, I'll try those things and hope for the best...
