I've thought of achieving vanilla victories in DoC game. Space, domination and culture victory has been done, but diplomatic victory (UN) disturbs me a lot. The challenges are follows:
- You need 2/3 UN votes to win, and only those appreciate you very much (+7 attitude) will vote for you. This is a very high threshold.
- It's difficult to make friends with everyone because of "you've traded with our worst enemies" malus.
- Vassals will vote for you, but other civs will have "we're afraid of our rival being your vassal" malus, which multiplies as your empire become stronger.
- You must avoid achieving the second UHV to stay away from the -2 attitude malus.
- Best Defense quest is useful (+2 attitude) but may fade out.

Do you have any ideas on achieving diplo victory through UN? Which civ to choose and what's the key point of the strategy?
 
I assume it involves spamming Great Statesmen for diplomatic missions. IIRC vassals's votes count for less so they might be suboptimal.
 
Leading in techs and sharing technologies helps with up to +4. Cristo Redentor is a must have Wonder to agree with civs demand to change to fav civic. So it helps if you avoid universal civic votes. Give them at least one resource at all times. Great Statesmen only have limited use for past events category.
These modifiers never decay:
