[.952] Defend vs. Pass

from Elemental Forums

If I recall correctly, units in tactical battle used to have the option to "Defend".  And, indeed, the Defender level-up increases defense when "defending".  In the new tactical interface, however, I don't see a "Defend".  Is "Pass" in the new interface the same as the old "Defend"?  Or has a change rendered the Defender level-up useless?

Or am I just horribly confused?

When you pass you automatically defend (the shield icon above the head of the unit).

Thanks, that what I was guessing and was hoping for.  But I wonder if it would be clearer to new players and players coming from E:WoM if Pass was changed back to Defend.  Just a minor suggestion.

Fully, agree; as a player who has been playing for quite a while, I actually thought the defend feature had been removed at one point. It's definitely not clear that pass=defend.
