You can still trade communications, but it comes at a much later tech.
Usually, by that time, most civs have met each other however.

In the latest patch v1.22, military leaders are no longer able to rush
wonders & small wonders. However, a scientific leader (if that option is
on) will rush wonders & small wonders, but cannot create an army...

If you really want your military leader to be able to rush wonders and small
wonders, then edit your military leader's rules. A simple checkbox in the
editor can give him that ability....

The ability to trade communications has been moved to Printing Press so it
happens much later. The ability to trade maps has been moved to Navigation.

There are now two kinds of Great Leaders. The original kind is now the
Military Great Leader (MGL) and it can make an Army or rush small wonders or
buildings like the Forbidden Palace. The new kind is the Scientific Great
Leader (SGL) that is sometimes created when a new tech is researched for the
first time. The SGL is the one that can rush great wonders.

I wonder why they would do that? Civs have always been interested in
trading, even if it took years to get there. I thought the option
came too late in the game myself. You often needed to sell quickly
before the AI did.
