16 civs, can't contact more than 7

[Nicolas]

Hey everyone. I'm playing a game with 16 civs on an enormous map but I can only contact about three of them at this point through my foreign advisor. The world map is explored and i've had contact with them at some time or another by left clicking on their units and selecting "contact leader", but that's no use when there aren't any units from the civ i want to speak with around. Can anyone tell me how this is supposed to work? Thank you, and please excuse my poor english, I'm still learning it.

If you Shift-right click on one of the heads in your Diplomacy screen, the F4 key, I believe it will allow you bring up any civ you want into the space. I don't play 16 myself, way to slow on a huge map, but that's what I've read from other people who do.

Willem is right.


If you just want to contact them you may also:

Press the little D in the lower right of your screen.

Press Shift-D

You know, this question is asked SOOO much that Firaxis really should put some sort of label on the diplomacy screen: "Shift+Right click on a portrait to display additional civs"

or, you know, make a screen that actually accomodates the game.
