How does this differ from +5 defense?
Does this mean that, if my army attacks another army, the particular unit does not get the bonus for the entire battle?
If it's on a shield, what it means is if your unit does nothing except move in combat (passes a turn, press space) it gains a shield icon above its head. This is called "defending". The shield gives a bonus to the defense you gain when defending (5 default, so 5+5 = 10 total).
Oh, so this is actually intentional?
I wasn't sure, but I thought that moving counted as "doing something" as well, and that the shields that showed above my units where just bugged icons. Thanks for clearing this up!
