The exact resolutions proposed for discussion are randomized, but their occurrence is era appropriate and the probabilities are based on recent world events. Thus, the Diplomatic Victory Resolution enters as a third option which is always available, while a scored competition of some kind enters as a fourth option. But from the Modern Era onward leaders diversify their interests, while at the same time politics enter a new level of complexity. In each session, 2 Resolutions are proposed (supposedly by the rotational leader of the Congress), which make decisions on currently relevant topics in the world, such as border treaties, preferred religion, trade pacts, and climate. The frequency of Regular Sessions scales with game speed. These sessions are pre-scheduled, and take place every 30 turns on Standard speed, starting from the turn after which the world enters the Medieval Era. Regular Sessions are the main manifestation of the Congress' mechanics at them matters of mutual interest to all are discussed which are relevant to the current World Era. The very first meeting is always a Regular Session if conditions, for a Special Session are met earlier, this Special Session will be scheduled, but put on hold and called only after the first Regular Session has passed. The World Congress meets for two distinct types of sessions: Regular and Special Sessions. They will nevertheless still vote, but they will appear as question marks, preserving the discovery flavor of the game.
It is fully possible, and in fact common in the first few regular sessions, that the player has not met all leaders in the world. The World Congress phase will only be ended when all votes for all proposals brought forth are submitted and confirmed. During this phase the player is free to close the session panel temporarily in order to better understand which outcomes and targets suit them the best however, the player will be unable to move units or issue any kind of order. World Congress sessions take place during their own phase, which occurs after all AI players have had their turns, but before the player can start his or her next turn. Since this sort of global-level civilized interaction is unthinkable in the very dawn of history (while newly-established empires are still fighting to keep their own against nature and barbarian tribes), the World Congress convenes only when the world enters the Medieval Era. The voting power of each leader depends on their accumulated Diplomatic Favor. The World Congress is a place where all leaders in the game (or at least those who haven't been eliminated yet) meet to discuss proposals of importance to the world and vote for or against them, according to their benefit, or to the detriment of their competitors.
