Reasearch Agreements question

[Ricmel]

Is there anyway to see what RA's you have in place and where they are up to? I have looked all over and cannot find.

Thanks

The only way to see your diplomacy deals is to go to the Diplomacy Overview and select the Deal History tab. The deals are organized in chronological order with the icon of the civ you made the deal with. Click on the deals one by one until you find the one you want and then take the turn it began on and add the appropriate number of turns depending on your game speed.

It's sloppy and sometimes it bugs out and won't show some, or any of your deals. I hope the dev team is working on improving that interface so that we can sort by type of deal etc. They did a great job on improving the interface for keeping track of resources and great people, so I hope they will do the same to the diplomacy window.

Great, thanks Raethwyn, yes it seems like something there should be an easy reference for.

Everytime I sign a research agreement, I write the expected turn (current turn+30 at standard speed) and who it's with in a list on a sheet of paper... then cross them off as they expire or get cancelled. This is easier than trawling through the in-game list of deals.

I have the "CivWillard" mod, which displays the upcoming events on deals (and city states and cities).
Mod InfoAddict also has a nice overview of diplomacy deals.

Install CivWillard, it solves this and many other problems.

Another endorsement of CivWillard here. In addition to managing research agreements, it also can be configured to show you in one place how much gold every other civ has, who you are eligible for a research agreement with (based on gold etc), what resources civs have available for trade, what resources of yours they will trade for, what city focus each of your cities has (including ability to change it from a single location), a list of all City States with every civ who is protecting them, current ally, your current influence...

Basically, take a whole bunch of data that you need but is almost impossible to get just because of convoluted UI and put it all in one simple and easy to use presentation.
