Civilization – How to increase the delegate count

civilization-5civilization-5-brave-new-world

In Brave New World what increases the delegate count for the World Congress/United Nations? Is there anything I can build to get more votes?

Best Answer

The base number of delegates each Civ gets is based on the era. The host of the congress starts with an extra delegate, which increases as the base number of delegates goes up during the Eras. The host is voted on again each time the congress enters a new Era. Once the Industrial Era has been reached, city-state allies provide additional delegates.

According to in-game Era-change pop-ups:

Renaissance Era: 1 for being a member, +1 for being the host, and +0 per allied city-state.
Industrial Era: 2 for being a member, +1 for being the host, and +1 per allied city-state.
Atomic Era: 3 for being a member, +2 for being the host, and +1 per allied city-state.
Information Era: 4 for being a member, +2 for being the host, and +2 per allied city-state.

The Forbidden Palace Wonder gives +2 delegates.

The Globalization technology gives +1 delegate per spy assigned as Diplomat you have in another Civs Capital City.

If the World Congress enacts a World Religion, you get +2 delegates from being a member of that religion.

If the World Congress enacts a World Ideology, you get +2 delegates from being a member of that ideology.

You can also trade votes with other Civs through the Diplomacy screen provided that you have a spy assigned as a Diplomat in their capital.

This is taken straight from the XML files included with Civ V: (Updated for the June 2011 patch, where all of them were reduced by 50%)

 <Type>WORLDSIZE_DUEL</Type> 
  <NumCitiesPolicyCostMod>15</NumCitiesPolicyCostMod> 


  <Type>WORLDSIZE_TINY</Type> 
  <NumCitiesPolicyCostMod>15</NumCitiesPolicyCostMod> 


  <Type>WORLDSIZE_SMALL</Type> 
  <NumCitiesPolicyCostMod>15</NumCitiesPolicyCostMod> 


  <Type>WORLDSIZE_STANDARD</Type> 
  <NumCitiesPolicyCostMod>15</NumCitiesPolicyCostMod> 


  <Type>WORLDSIZE_LARGE</Type> 
  <NumCitiesPolicyCostMod>10</NumCitiesPolicyCostMod> 


  <Type>WORLDSIZE_HUGE</Type> 
  <NumCitiesPolicyCostMod>7.5</NumCitiesPolicyCostMod>

So it's 15% for all but the largest two map sizes.

Although Steam will automatically download all DLC for the game, you can go into your settings inside Civ V itself and turn DLC content off, such as the expansion packs.

Additionally, the UI should now revert to whatever version you're playing as well, as of the latest patch.
