how do you get the foreign advisor screen to work with more than 8 civs, HELP!!!!!!!!

I'm currently playing a 16 civ game and on the foriegn advisor screen it only shows 8 civs, even after one is defeated, is there any way to view the other ones from this screen?
Thanks in advance!

Yep.

You can only show 8 at any one time, but you can choose which civ occupies a given spot by holding down shift and righ-clicking (which should give you a drop down menu of all civs currently not shown).

If one of the spaces is blank (as in your case) just hold the pointer over the space and you should get a yellow circle - then just do the shift-right click as above.

You can also use this feature to swap positions of civs (i.e. swap one out and then in again somewhere else). I often do this so my allies are near the top and enemies at the bottom.

ah, thanks so much! I can't believe they made the method for this so obsecure!

Forget the foreign adv screen.. Just use shift-d or the little d button near the bottom right.

Look at it this way, it was this way or a max of eight civs. Some of us faught very hard to ensure that players even had the option of more than eight civs.

Oh I agree Dan I wouldn't want to lose the option of playing with more (12 civs on large maps is my preferred level now).

Maybe though you could consider having smaller civ heads and squeezing in 16 in the future sometime? I assume it was only time pressures rather than technical limitations that created this anomaly.
