I open this topic to let discus about new possibilities to achieve victory.

1) Diplomacy Victory
See this topic.

So you achieve diplomacy victory if more than 50% people on the world likes your country. Mechanism of liking/disliking of country by people of another should be polished, but by supporting smaller/worse countries, we should receive more likes by people of this country than supporting bigger/better countries.

But, more than 50% of people ARE my country (usually). And they are happy enough. Does that mean I will automatically get diplomatic victory even if i never actually did any diplomatic action at all ?

That would simply be a shortcut to military victory because if half of the world population is yours, then the final conquest is only a formality.

You have right - the idea must be polished. But I clarify, that smaller countries are more important.

Maybe better if 60 percent people of each country like us? That means for each country, more than 60 percent of people must like us.

I kinda like that kind of formality, destroying harmless civilizations

Counting in number of foreign countries rather than in overall population percentage would indeed solve that problem.
