I have just attacked a mine with units that were in defence mode. The attack was made okay but the units are now in normal mode.
Is it normal to be normal now?
I don't recall the mode being changed like that before and I would really have preferred that they had stayed in defensive mode even though it isn't very logical to use units to attack and expect them to still be on defence;
but why not?
It still cost me the extra MPs.

yeap...heard once that it was a bug that are still unrepaired
it does save us the mp when exploiting this bug tho,so dont..

Exploiting??
I'm the one at a loss
because I expected my units to still be on defence
but now they are wide open for a massive counter attack (i.e. if he comes on line before I can get them back on defence).

PS:
Well sure enough I was unable to get the units back into defensive mode and my opponent did attack.
The best part is that I had just purchased expert armor.

TR

whts the use of defensive mode????

Well at a cost of half of your BPs you can put your troops into defensive mode and it is like "entrenching" them so that they have additional resistance to attack.
I have to look to see exactly how much
and right now all of my units are in normal mode.
Maybe someone else knows the numbers.

i believe it is -5 attack for +10 defense

oh !!!! i c

You need at least 50% BP strength to change modes though and to the best of my knowledge, making an attack while in defensive mode didn't used to cause the unit to come out of defensive mode as I mention above.
I'm wondering if it is a bug or if an experimental change is being tried because I did say in suggestions once before that I thought 30% BPs was enough to enter defensive mode and 20% should be enough to change to normal again.
I really wouldn't mind losing the mode when an attack is made with the unit if the mode could be regained at a much lesser cost than 50% BPs.
