Wow an old Ti 200!... Im surprised your even getting to the game screen! But seriously, it might be rather difficult to just upgrade your video card. As was previously stated alot of these systems have proprietery software (and hardware) that don't react well to new stuff. (even extra RAM)
The vote that comes up when declaring war, does not determine whose party is in control. All it does is decides IF you go to war.
