) ! I loved the Apostolic Palace from Civ4 and during a recent vintage Civ phase I really wished Civ5 had that...but it seems like it is less powerful than the AP and I really wish it had that 'stop the war' ability for when you are embroiled in a phony war and you just want out. And also the 'reassign city' motion because I like creating chaos among rivals
