Yes it is very hard to vote across the board for dipl related things.
As stated by a few people above i wont give my diplo vote to someone who uses fear of a large army and prodcution base to get their way.
So most months i have not put diplo votes in . Remember you dont have to vote in each category each month nor fill in all 3 slots each month.
Now what does impress me is when a small civ gets its way agaisnt a larger civ, or when a large civ freely gives things t oa smaller civ that is Diplomatic efforts .
Utilising any fear threat or implied threat is not diplomacy it is intimidation.
As with all others , most of the real diplo stuff occurs behind the scenes and al lwe can hope is the recievers of our PMs think they worthy of votes.
Some tihngs that go on behind the scenes
1. Requests from one civ to another to support a weaker civ.
2. requests to protect a 3rd party
3. Informing other civs of secret agreements that may affect the other civ.
That is diplomacy.
