So one WC resolution that I think could use a rethink is the United Nations.
The problem with it is, its not really a WC that gives X bonuses, its basically the "allow DV" resolution, and the AI knows it. Consequently I find I get a near universal disapproval when I try to pass it, case in point.
In this game I am leading the votes by a very solid margin, but I'm not an "overwhelming lead". And that to me is the problem, I feel that this is the hardest part of the DV....its not the super votes at the end, I actually find that easier because my CS allies are giving me a lot of votes at that point, and my vassals have to vote with me.
But it often feels that in order to pass the United Nations I must have more votes than every other civ combined in order to get it through, and then I can "relax" when the super vote comes in, which is an odd way to run the victory condition.
Now I don't mind the resolution in terms of its bonuses, I just think they we should decouple the United Nations from the WC part.
When you hit Atomic Era, the united nations should form (which I think is actually how it works in vanilla if I recall). Your CS votes increase appropriately, and DV becomes an option if you get the World Ideology to pass (that one is also difficult but I find it easier in that I don't have to pass my ideology, just ANY ideology will do.)
Then you just rename the WC resolution to something appropriate, Security Council formation, NATO, I'll let the "naming people" take on that one
So that's option 1. Option 2 is more a midground approach. United Nations still exists in its current state, but you automatically get it even if it hasn't passed when Information Era hits (similar to how you get an ideology by modern even if you don't have the policies yet).
What do you people think?

Gridlock the United Nations, just like the real Security Council!
