how to see who wants what resource

[DragonKnight]

Is there a way to see who is interested in what resource I have without having to go to each leader, click trade and hit my resource Plus sign?
I have VEM installed if that has a way...

Try using both CivWillard and InfoAddict mods when also using VEM. They are compatible. I think it's CivWillard that has the resource info.

Not much of an answer but...

In your Diplomacy window, it should list the resources that they have - and you can pretty much offer them what you have that they don't. You don't need to go open a trade window with them.

I don't think there's anything that states what they Want, per se.

P.S. Or what ever this window is (just grabbed one from google image) that shows you what they can trade

I'd also like it if this information was presented more efficiently, a la the table in BtS with the 'wants' column.

I've looked at that table. It doesn't help. Not sure but I think it only shows resources you want (and thus if you have one to trade it wouldn't even show, so you would always think everyone wanted it).

I'll try willard, but I bet I have to start a new game to try it, and at this point I am not sure I want to play anymore. Everything is so labor intensive, and then so slow between turns... It is just taking forever to get through one game...

for me the basic diplomacy page does help. (you can either click diplomacy button next to advisors, then 'diplomatic overview' then 'diplomatic relationships' or go to the dropdown info tab where you can choose tech tree, victory condition, etc and click on 'diplomatic overview'.)

it will show the civ, the gold/gpt they have and what resources (strat/lux and how many) they have. and if they have enough gold for an RA and you dont already have one with them it will say 'Research agreement'. it wont say which resources they desire, but if i see a civ with iron and no horses and i have horses to trade i offer to see what they are willing to give for it.

i just like to deduce what they need rather than be told. it will also give you a breakdown of each CS and what they have. i use these screens on almost every turn.

Sorry... confused here.

It'll show resources you Don't have that they have, and not resources that you Both have (e.g. you can't trade Your Iron for Their Iron). It also shows agreements that can be traded with them (And won't show agreements you already Have with them, e.g. open borders, RAs, etc)

In the posted pix, You're Inca and you don't have any horses, iron or incense that's why Persia and Siam is showing those horses, etc.

It also shows that you have an open border agreement (you kinda have to use deduction too) with Siam and Arabia but not with Persia, that's why persia has it on the table for possible trade.

Civwillard is awesome for managing AI and CS relationships - saves a ton of time simply from better UI
