For about 100 turns now, the diplo situation in my game is deadlocked.
Turn is about 480, huge map, 21 nation, highest difficulty. I play Rome, and have always been friends with the germans. In the beginning, i was friends with many others too, as was Germany, we both were friends with France too. Everything changed after Germany captured a city states. Denouncation after denouncation, first only against Germany, then against me for sticking with them. Finally, after 2 other common friends, France too asked me to support their denouncing of our common friend. Of course i rejected with the obvious consequences. Ever since then, i supported Germany with DOWs and denouncations. Now we are at war with everybody else, except for the always friendly Huns, themselves always a favourite target of gangbanging.
The war is going well, i hate those disgusting, stupid, arrogant and impertinent hypocrites and will destroy them all. They´ve called me warmonger without reason, and i have changed that now. But, there should be other options too. It can´t be, that 18 nations sit together in a constant circle jer*k and hate us for the rest of the game.

Please create the possibility for intrigues, or "active measures" as the Russians call it, to seed discord , distrust and hate among others, among friends and enemies. It could
cost gold(of wich everybody has plenty) and culture, and make other denounce each other or worse.
 
An idea that would take much less work would be to just change how easy it is to become someone's 'permanent' enemy. I think nothing less than capturing another civ's capitol should cause this type of hatred. Think about how the English and French were enemies for much of their history, then they came together to fight the Kaiser not long after Napoleon had been defeated. Even the USA has talks with the 'Axis of Evil' of nations it doesn't like.
 
I have also being thinking about diplomacy - mostly World Congress. There are way too few resolutions - at least at the early(sh) stage. Have you guys done anything for this side yet?
If you need ideas for resolutions, please let me know.
