1. as for list not that I'm aware of maybe some of the other players can help in this
2 give gifts and/or sweet talk them - use general message option. Some just will hate you not matter what, others will make treaties and break them the next turn no matter what you do
4 go to jettison cargo button on top scroll bar,
5 never used ministers, can't help on this
6 on opening screen where you set up game go to multiplayer instead of hotseat, to play on line, i haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure some of the others can help ya out on this. hope this helps, I'm sure some of the others can give you more info, I'm still new at the game myself... good luck
