Defending diplomats work like a stack (because they're in a city, this is
the right thing to do), the attacking diplomat faces each in turn, and
has to beat all in order to stand the (normal) a priori chance to
succeed in his mission.  In practice this means that you can't make
a city safe by adding depenfing diplomats of diplchance is high.

If I remember correctly.
