The way less than 1 MP left is handled for normal units, it that their attack
strength is reduced.  e.g.  if a unit with attack 9 only has 2/3 MP left, it
attacks at a 6.  Why not do the same thing for diplomats, give them a smaller
chance of sucess for less <1 MP left.

IMHO, the client should pop up a dialog saying "Your unit has less than 1 MP
left, this reduces to one/two thirds normal, continue?" Yes/No/Don't show again
Most new players probably don't know about this rule.
