Ah, well, the Diplomat doesn't actually have enough movement to 
move either to the plains or the city, but since it has _some_
movement it gets a _chance_ to move onto the plains.  (In the same
situation with a different random sequence, trying to move to
the plains would end to Diplomats turn (zero move remaining) 
_without_ actually making the movement.)  

Not sure what we should do about this; making the message
"can't attack there" more informative would help.
(Or the ruling about when Diplomats can do actions is not set
in stone either.)
