I just had a strange experience in a game:
We were around beginning of the modern era, two civs left on two continents - me and Zulu. I was running free religion and Zulu had Taoism. I did not have Taoism in any of my cities.
I was going for a space race victory but looks like the AI determined that it would lose so Zulu declared war on me. Despite my much weaker navy I managed to slip two transports with some tanks on board and conquered one of his cities (with Taoism inside).
On the next turn I get a pop-up "Apostolic palace diplomatic victory voting" with two options - Abstain or Zulu. I abstain and next turn I lose the game ??!?
Turns out I had 5 votes and Zulu had the rest.
Is this a bug? In a duel game this means that whoever builds the Apostolic palace and manages to keep his religion mainly in his territory then he would just have to lose 1 city (or even gift it) to the opponent and win in the next 2-3 turns.
BTW: I managed to work around it by voting a UN resolution global civic: free religion ... poor Zulu was pretty outgunned afterward
