Clicking on foreign stats, then relation tab. It's empty because I haven't met anyone.
But you can just hit ctrl+1 through ctrl+0 and tada you can now trade from turn 1.
Is this the reason that by the time I meet another civilization they have tons more techs.. and as I meet more they have already tech traded up to be equal? or is this just a human to AI interaction bug and the AI still behaves and waits till they meet?
