1. Go to the Global Politics screen (same place you check which social policies the other civs have adopted, and who is friends with, at war with, or denouncing others. As long as you've met the civ, it will show you which civ has built each wonder. It will not, however, tell you ion which city that wonder was built.
2. Absolutely. In fact, if a civ is refusing to give you open borders, the only way to perform a concert tour with that civ is to DOW them -- position your GMs just outside their borders (with meat shield protection), DOW them, step your GMs over the border and perform their concert tours.
Yes that is already all turned off via quick turns mod to get rid of animations and speed it up. It does help. I'd still however like to not have turn processing interrupted for pointless questions about embassy access or open borders every few turns from the same civ x 20+ other civs. If I ever want to allow access for these, I will initiate the trade. I accept these directly from the AI next to never and turns for other civs won't process until I get rid of each and every diplomacy screen. In other words, I have to sit and stare at the screen while it processes every turn, instead of finding something else to do. It's an old macbook I play on so this is really an issue later on in the game. Quiet diplomacy mod comes closest (for other dialogue that can be pointless) but does not address these two requests from the AI for some reason.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I see some of the better players talk about getting a wonder like the Pyramids and then able to get a GE from it after 100 turns or so. I've never been able to do this. I always get scientists from the university specialists which keep pushing back the ability to get a GE to the point of never getting one.
The only way I can for sure get one is to put specialists in the production buildings. But early on there isn't enough food to support all of them, so science wins.
Too late for the current game, any tips to improve my chances for future games?
What conditions are needed to get someone to vote for your desired selection in the World Congress,...
I see the option, but not sure what opens this possibility...???
Era?
Technology?
It is only when you are friends, and trade....or can you demand it, or have it involved in a Peace Treaty?
