Aside from the fact we can't ignore the resolutions the biggest problem I have is when it comes time to elect a new leader. It comes on with no chance to prepare and the AI ALWAYS votes for themselves. So it always goes to the civ with the most votes, which is usually the current leader. They need to patch it so the AI will not always waste their votes for voting for themselves. Weigh the military and the culture and the technology and the tourism and the ideology. Each civ has it's preferance of what it likes and they vote for the one that meets that. Let us trade for votes (without need of diplomats). Something. Anything would be better then the vote for myself mentality the game does now.
Use my current game as an example. Due to lots of warring, science advancement took a hit on all the civs. The gap Renaissance and Industrial was large and the gap between Industrial and Modern is still going. Finally in 1988, half the civs made it into the Modern era (playing with 13 total) and time came to vote to get Greece off the seat of power. You see, nearly every other civ hates Greece and currently has them denounced. Half of the civs have had wars with Greece and they have been in constant war most of the game. Greece is also the only civ to have taken Autocracy. Because Greece is the leader and is Ally with a lot of the city-states they have 22 votes. The next highest has 9 (me), then 5, then 3 and the rest with 2. Every single civ voted for themselves in the election.... every single one except for me. I voted for the one with 5 in hopes another civ or two would vote for them and we would get Greece out.
