This is all fine and dandy discussion, if it led to a diplomatic victory. However, as it stands currently.
The only time the other proper civs will vote for anyone but themselves is when you or another civ liberates
thier capital. i did find it funny today that while persueing a domination victory, i was able to convince another
civ to dow on another civ.
Granted, I had already taken both of Carthage and the Mayan capitals. It did not like Carthage's city spamming
after the fact. So I took their settler. After a few turns, Dido parlayed for peace. She offered a city for peace.
I countered by dropping the city offer and instead have her Dow on the Mayans. I laughed my butt off!
