 I always used to grumble when they called me Unholy.  However, when playing a undead lizard lich instead of my usually goodie two shoes, I took it as a compliment!
 Galactic Civilizations had pretty good diplomacy, though the trade system associated with it was a bit of a cash cow.  Most other games have been pretty weak, until you got to multiplayer.  Then it all depended upon your opponents.
