Just in case, these 200 diplo groups would be from the same town, all of the same unit type, and the max time stamp diference between the 1st and the 200th, less than 2 minutes. ( so all of them would land within 2 minutes).

If anyone goes for the yes, please, some futher feedback would be apreciated. Thanks :)

Only if they were using a script.

Hm,... backing up my opinion is difficult, but with a wise use of return and enter button and a refined routine in clicking return to previous page, click entry, type 1, click send, click return...

...I think 100 per minute might be pretty much the limit, but I think it's achievable without a script. About 1.7 per second...

Using something like iMacros it might be possible. A lot would depend on the response time of the browser/site.

I've sent out a bunch of tightly clustered diplos before. But it's murder on your carpal tunnel syndrome. 200 is a lot. I don't know if I could do it within 120 seconds, but it wouldn't be much over that if I were really pushing it.

Not true Binky, multiple spam of single or 2 diplo units is sometimes (well often) more effective than sending large groups.  You end up losing fewer units overall on average and have an almost guarantee of success if you send enough.

As to whether it's possible to send that many in 2 minutes, I wouldn't want to say that it is absolutely impossible.  You could have the url on a savestring and keep pasting it into the browser then hitting send, back, send, back, send or reload return.  Your internet connection would have to be substantially faster than mine.  I will say that probably _I_ couldn't do it, but other people are far more adept at this stuff than I am.

Edited to clarify that I didn't vote because honestly I don't know.

After a few tests, I had a hard time getting much over 30 per minute with the following steps.

1. Click into "# to send" box to get keyboard focus there.
2. Press 1 on the Number Pad.
3. Press Enter on the Number Pad.
4. Back button on mouse.
(Repeat)

I could have(and did try) to press those buttons faster, but the page load speed was the limiting factor. Im on a fast computer(6 Core, 8GB RAM) connected with a relatively fast connection (8MB up/1MB down) and using Google Chrome version 30.0.1599.101.

It is possible that someone geographically closer to the server could get faster page load times, but I would still consider it improbable. 

If anyone is using a script to send diplomats, it would violate Illyriad's rules regarding 3rd party tools, I pasted #3 below as its the relevant one here.
3. Tools that automate actions
Tools that submit ingame *actions* back to the web server are forbidden.  

The word "action" is important here.  

We don't have a problem with anyone who has (eg) a tool that allows you to click on a player's name and view their ranking, open a new mail message, look at their profile, or center the map on their capital city.  These are all examples of reasonable uses.

However, any tool that (eg) dispatches an army, casts a spell, starts construction etc is a definite no-no.

Don't use back. Click on the city name in the diplomatic Movements and Send Diplomats right from there. If you do it right, the link you click is right on level with the box for sending your specific diplo type.
