Uhm, I've thought about it. It is a *feature*, that the diplomat dies
quietly, in the fog of war, isn't it? There *should* *be* no message of
any kind? Mmh, a little bit irretating. When he dies (killed by a
colleague), and you encounter that he deosn't exist any more, why
there isn't a message? I've seen this with other units, ok. But
when you have many cities and units poking around, how shall you
be able to track down, where your troops are gone? Why no message
that they are dead?
