U.N. Victory question.

[Bucephalus]

Does anyone know what happens if you call a vote, and a civ known to you is not known to your opponent?

I see four possibilities:

1) The unmet civ abstains;

2) They vote as normal;

3) They automatically vote for you;

4) They do not take part in the vote.

I don't have first hand experience, but from SirPleb's fast chieftain diplo game, it would appear that those tribes will vote - they presumably either vote for you or abstain depending on their attitude toward you.

Lots of gifts, ROPs, and a few military alliances assured that most rivals would vote for me. I flipped the prebuild to complete UN, called the vote, and won easily in 210AD with a Firaxis score of 2185.

Amusingly, at the end of the game the AIs were so far behind that most had not even met each other! Four of them knew only one Civ other than me. Two knew two other Civs, one knew four. The AIs ranged in size from three to six cities at this date.

Thanks, Chamnix - that's just what I was looking for.

How is it possible to reach a chieftain diplo victory in 210 AD?!?

Chieftain isn't exactly the fastest tech race...

Yeah, I've read it...

Luck, skills and crystal-clear strategy all the way!

Amazing stuff.

I consider myself lucky if I start railing by 700 AD.
