I can't find a diplomacy screen.

[TLF]

I loaded an older game that I stopped playing months ago and now I can't find any info about diplomatic relations with other factions.

All I can find is the comm links and they don't give much info. For example I have a pact with the Spartans. It doesn't say anything about the nature of the pact.

I also noticed that I can click on any faction's cities and see all of the info about them.
Why is that?
If it is because I am the leader of the planetary council where can I find the info that I am or am not the leader?

Am I supposed to be keeping notes as I play the game?

If you right-click on the name of the faction, you should get additional information. I am not sure what you mean by the nature of the pact.

The Planetary Governor has automatic infiltration of the other factions. Infiltration means you can see what is happening in their bases and access the information available in the Base Operations Screen (F4).

Sometimes you get information that Faction A and Faction B have formed a treaty. If you don't have infiltration, you will not be able to access this information later. Similarly there may be an announcement that Faction A has discovered Secrets of the Human Brain.
