You're right. It was in the first SOTD. My memory is just bad I guess.

Funny how knowledge is sometimes...
I found that last night while trying to get everyone to gang up on the Zulus.
Figured, like many of the above replies, that it was basic knowledge.
Kinda' like making the wheel: after doing so, you go "oh, doesn't everyone else have this?"
Still wish that I could have more than 8 Civs show at the same time in this spider web. But that issue has been beat up enough.

But you can change the 8 faces... That somehow reduces the problem.
ThunderFall got this screenshot from my savegame (see my thread in the Tech Forum about JGL.DLL crashes). I agreed to every civ that wanted a RoP because an AI civ is reluctant to exploit an RoP and got to war with you.
I was shooting for a SS victory, so I didn't want to get into a messy war. And it worked! Until my savefile got corrupted somehow.

You know, I've never actually seen those lines... I've selected all the leaders with shift-clicking, but no lines appear. All the options on the side are selected...

BOB DYLAN'S ROCKIN OUT!
Ah, Thunderfall. I'd make fun of you if you didn't have the power to boot me off the site.
The game was set to Accelerated, so technologically, it was the Modern Era, but it was still the 13th century chronologically. Also, I played a defensive game (concentrating all my attention to research and infrastructure), so I didn't go out and conquer them.
Frankly, I was amazed that after hundreds of years of wars and shifting alliances amongst themselves that they didn't wipe each other out altogether.

Shift+click is in the manual (page 188 to be exact).
Shift+right click is in the read me (orignal additions).
I found this out the first time I played (just messing around), and have been telling every one that asks ever sence.
Another helpful thing that nobody seems to know is to Hold shift while units are moving and it will go a lot faster.

it doesn't work for me too, and i hav embassies with every civ i know, and the colour-coded lines on the right in the selection box (of which agreement's lines you want to see) do not appear too.
do i have the relevant graphics files missing or something??
You can get the same effect by going into Prefs and unchecking "Animate [friendly/player/enemy] moves". This way, you won't wear out your SHIFT key. Also, if you're playing a huge map with lots of civs, you can simply walk away from the keyboard while all the moves are played out.

Yeah, the shift thing sounds great - sometimes I want to see the animations, other times not!
