Conquest and Closer Combat modes identical....what is up...

[MythTrip]

When playing skirmishes, you can win by destroying more units (destruction mode) or getting more territory. (conquest and cloer combat modes). The tooltip describing Conquest and Closer combat is identical, what is difference between the two?

[MushyNed]

they're pretty close but the closer combat mode allows to deploy units way closer to the center of the map, and enables deploying units without their transport for immediately available defenses for example. Also, the +1 starts at 52% instead of 51. It was a new game mode made after patch and lots of the mechanics got used in the attack/defense scenarios
