I think the most important thing is the 'relation points system'. There must be many ways to increase/decrease the points with a nation. All things must effect the relations between the nations. Aside this the AI's long memory is the second key for a very good diplo AI/system. The AI must remember everything, and there must be certain cases, when you won't be able to raise the relation points anymore above a specific limit. Example: a sneak attack on the AI, when you had good relations with it. Also these happenings must have global consequences. All AI must react somehow.
