Embassy

[Nyseth]

I'm playing Civ3 for about a month. Something is quite funny: I can't establish an embassy in another Civ! The Civilopedia tells about it, so do my Advisors. They say: right-click on the capital of the civ, and an embassy is established. But that doesn't happen. The capital is not in my visual range, but how is that possible?
I also haven't upgraded the game.

How can I establish an embassy?

AFAIK you have to have Writing discovered. Then right click on your capital's star and then you get to choose with whom you'd like to establish an embassy with. This requires of course that you already have met the civ that you want to establish an embassy with. I don't think that patches have affected this part of the game!

So right-clicking on your capital will give you a list of those civs you have met and can create an Embassy with and how much it will cost you.

Took me ages to figure this one out. Needed to come here to get help.
