Question About Defense Mode

[GrandMajora]

Okay, here's something I'm not entirely clear on. Does setting your units into Defense Mode grant them +2 Defense and Resistance by default?

I ask this, because it says that Bulwark causes Defense Mode to grant you +2 Defense and Resistance. Which if Defense Mode already does that, would mean that it actually provides you with a +4 bonus to each.

I'm planning to pair up Bulwark with Defensive tactics in the hopes of giving my faction a whopping +5 Defense and Resistance, but I'm not sure if I understand the situation properly and would like some more clarification.

I would still like an answer to this question, please?

I believe I heard on a stream that defense mode gives you +2 defense and resistance, and makes you immune to flanking, and gives you zone of control over all adjacent hexes. So Bulwark would increase that bonus to +4 each.

Good. I was afraid I had misinterpreted the situation and would have had to rethink my build plan.

Thank you.
