...Um, I'll have to disagree with that.
It looks like popping into the diplo screen to talk to AI leaders who want to talk is not optional and BOOM just happens.
I would much prefer it be a notification option or something you must deal with before ending your turn (like how if you space production in a city the "end turn" button turns into a "city need production" button).
It'd be interesting if it was a notification icon and you could just blow them off and take a diplo hit but this probably would hose some players. You'd get a notification item that says "Elizabeth is interested in trading, click here to chat with her" and could just ignore her and suffer, or click and THEN get to the diplo/leader screen whenever you want to talk during your turn.
One of the things that annoys me most in civ IV is AI leaders wanting to talk to me, constantly asking for open borders after I've said no 20 times, wanting my world map when I've said no repeatedly, etc. I'll be happily clicking along, hitting next turn to fly thru event-free turns, when suddenly a leader pops up in between clicks and I accidentally agree to something. My fault, but damn it's annoying that leaders just pop in like that.
And it's kind of odd that with their emphasis on notification and player choice about when to react to things that leaders will still pop onto your screen with no choice about when it happens. :/
