Resolutions (Civ5)

Back to World Congress

Back to Diplomacy

A partial list of resolutions

Resolutions are a new concept in Brave New World. They can only be proposed in the World Congress. A vote on resolutions occurs every 30 turns after the Congress is founded, and more frequently as the game progresses. Some resolutions cannot be proposed until certain technologies have been discovered. In fact, the Congress itself cannot be founded until a civilization has met all other civs and discovered Printing Press.

During a single Congress meeting, two civilizations (the host and the Congress member with the next highest delegate count) have an ability to propose resolutions. A resolution will be enacted if there are enough delegates in favor of that resolution. While in effect, resolutions will greatly change the gameplay, and may also impact one civilization's relations with others. Enacted resolutions may only be repealed on the future Congress meetings.

List of Resolutions

• Choose Host: (May not be proposed by a Civ, automatically proposed as Civilizations advance to later eras) Designate a Civilization to host the Congress. Being the host grants additional Delegates and the ability to propose resolutions in every session.
• World Leader: (May not be proposed by a Civ, proposed at regular intervals once the World Congress becomes the United Nations) Designate the World Leader. If a Civilization receives support from enough Delegates in the Congress, that leader will attain Diplomatic Victory. If no Civilization receives enough support to win, the two Civilizations who received the most support permanently gain 2 additional Delegates to use in future sessions.

Note that both Arts Funding and Sciences Funding resolutions may be in effect at the same time! In this case they effectively cancel each other, and production rate of all affected Great People returns to normal. You will need to arrange the repeal of one of the resolutions if you want production to be affected again.
