I haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere on the boards, so I thought I'd mention it here. If you're going for a cultural victory (or indeed any non-military victory), and finding that you're neglecting your military to do so, having the Apostolic Palace (and most of its votes) can be very useful. In my current game, I was attacked twice by Genghis, but I barely lost a unit or an improvement since I was always able to select the "stop war against me" option, and win the vote, at the next Apostolic Palace vote. I'm not sure if this worked only because Genghis was also a voting member (one of his cities had my religion, even though his country as a whole had a different religion), or if I could have stopped the war even if he wasn't a voting member. But in any case, I appreciated the opportunity it gave me to beef up the defenses in my cities on Genghis's border, at my leisure, in preparation for any future attack.

True, that is a nice feature. Ditto with assigning cities to you via vote. He could have defied the resolution and kept rumbling with you. Since it was Genghis, I think you might have been lucky that he didn't do that.

True, I suppose he could have done that, though I have yet to see the AI (or myself for that matter) defy a resolution. Mind you, this is only my third or fourth BtS game...

I have had civs constantly defy resolutions..

Especially the non nuclear proliferation treaty. The Khmer just started to develop nukes and hadnt yet built their first one. I quickyl went for the resolution as I had a stockpile already, but they defied it and started on tactical nukes instead of ICBMS, maybe cause they can build them quicker. Intelligent AI if u ask me, Civ never ceases to amaze me at how the AI responds, I love it.
