How exactly is Diplomat supposed to work?

[Neuro]

Just picked this up in the Humble Bundle. After several attempts over several games, I have yet to successfully use the Diplomat power. As an experiment, I have just started a turn and IMMEDIATELY clicked "Redeploy." I have attacked no one. Both of my opponent's races (one being Heroic Amazons the other being Mounted Giants) are Active and I have plenty of territories adjacent to both of them. I cannot drop the dove token anywhere. I can select it and drag it around, but every area becomes highlighted red. I feel as though I am either missing something really obvious or the feature is just plain broken.

Any help?

I don't know if this is the solution but did you attempt to place it on the actual player's card you wanted it on? I haven't used diplomat yet so I don't know.

The Diplomat is a defensive power. Drag and drop the bird onto a player that you did NOT attack during your turn, and she will not have the right to attack you during her turn.

As noted in my original message, I had attacked no one. To be clear:

1) Started my action.
2) Attacked nobody. Just immediately clicked "Redeploy."
3) Dove icon was enabled, but every region shows red.

It also of course fails in more complex scenario. I simply want to make clear that even in the simplest most cut-and-dried scenario Diplomat just doesn't seem to work. This is especially frustrating because the computer opponents seem to have no problem whatsoever using the power.

I have never had an issue with diplomat. I have used it several times.

Be sure that you DRAG AND DROP IT ONTO A PLAYER ICON (on the left). There is no indication that you are doing this.

Diplomat protects you from ONE player's ACTIVE race of YOUR CHOICE, provided you did not attack that player.

At the end of your turn, you can drag the dove onto the icon next to someone's name. Then they cannot attack you in their next turn.

Took me a couple of times to figure out where to drag it to.

Thanks for the tips. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who didn't realize the icon (as opposed to the rest of the player shield) was the target.

As far as I can tell there is no other game element that interacts with that icon. It looks for all the world like a static picture. Couldn't this be made a little clearer? Maybe have the shield's entire outline light up as a valid target like the regions do?
