How does diplomacy work in PBEM?

[henrebotha]

As in inter-human diplomacy. How do you set up trades, etc?

You simply offer what you want to another player, and when he opens save file, your offer is in his window..... You can also write something to him.
Also, you can communicate with him via mails, or messages....

I see... so any trades you make will not take effect until your next turn, correct? For instance, if I were to give another player Nationalism for Printing Press, my towns would not immediately yield extra commerce because he has to accept first.

Yes, that's right...
