Destroying the UN

[Avaron]

Ok I’m in an interesting situation in my current game, to cut a long story short, me the most powerful civ along with 3 allied civ’s are at war with the Egyptians, anyway I’m suffering from major war wariness and I would like peace, there lies the predicament and the question: the Egypt has the UN, if I sign peace with them and betray my allies then, they wouldn’t back me in the UN vote, which Egypt wont call while at war.

The only option is to race to Thebes and burn it and the UN to the ground…. My question is this does the destruction of the UN, null the Vote? In addition, is it a true assumption to assume the Egyptians wont call a UN vote whiles at war with me and 3 other civs? and is it true to assume that if I break my alliances and sign a peace my allies wont vote for me?

The vote shouldn't happen if the U.N. is destroyed.
The Egyptians might call a vote they might not. It is sometimes hard to tell what the A.I. will do.
Breaking your alliance shouldn't hurt you all that much, though someone else will need to answer this one.

has anyone tested destroying the city with the UN in as a way to stop the vote from happening?

I'm pretty sure that if you raze the UN you raze the chance for diplomatic victory. But you needn't to go so far. I think that if you just capture it you have the chance of vote in your hands.

i actually did nuke them, haha burned the UN down, haha funny the rest of the world didnt seam to mind me nuking the UN and killing all their diplomats.......

anyway im thinking a quest to destroy the UN might be a viable tactic in all my games for stopping the vote, sign alliances with most other civs against whoever builds it on the turn its built....

Wow, I really hope the developers put in a MAJOR rep hit if you raze the city that has the U.N.

It ought to be much easier to just build it yourself!

[Avaron]

yeah i usualy do, just got beat to it this time, made them pay though, as i say if another civ builds the UN before me then they are just drawing a target on there own heads!

All the diplos probably returned to their own countries during the war.

Build the UN first to win peacfully.

If they beat you to it, Kill for peace!!!

In my experience, breaking an alliance (or perhaps especially multiple alliances at once) at least can make your former allies Furious with you.
