Embassy

[Zinc]

Hi,
How do you setup an embassy in other civs? The Civlopedia wasn't really specific on it. And what will you be able to do with the embassy?

Sorry for the newbie question.

Thanks.

Before you get spammed for newbie questions outside the general discussion section...
Double click on the star on your capital's name label, once an embassy exists, double click on the star at their capital to carry out diplomatic espionage. It's one of the worst user interface designs ever seen, but I guess they could have made it Ctrl-Tab-Del-& instead, that'd be worse.

First of all, welcome. Second, you cannot perform espionage missions through your embassy before placing a spy in that capital. Your diplomats can give you certain information however, if you pay for it. Third, with PTW there will be a new espionage interface. Fourth, you don't get spammed for newbie questions in strategy, you get flamed. Fifth, you can find the newbie question thread here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31757

shift-E or ctrl-E. One builds the embassy. The other lets you use it or spy.
