But setting diplchance to 1 to combat autodiplomats is a _very_ nasty
workaround, to put it mildly.

Now that we have increased incite costs and improved diplomat defenders
(and have autoattack), why are autodiplomats still a problem? Should not
everyone have autodiplomats?

Perhaps a setting to disable diplomats would be in order. (Personally I
favour removing them from default ruleset even. I hate those guys.)
