DESCRIPTION
Overview:
All Defense Modes no longer extend Zone of Control to all adjacent hexes!
Zone of Control is what determines whether a unit can be flanked, and where it can perform Retaliation and Opportunity attacks.
Might make unit facing more important and flanking maneuvers more viable!
Is it balanced? Well, that's up to you to decide! ;3
Changes:
- Defense Mode, Defense Mode - Shield Wall, and Defense Mode - Warding, Defense Mode - Shield Wall, and Defense Mode - Turn to Stone no longer extend Zone of Control to all adjacent hexes.
- Ability descriptions of Defense Mode, Defense Mode - Shield Wall, and Defense Mode - Warding, Defense Mode - Shield Wall, and Defense Mode - Turn to Stone have been updated to reflect the above changes.
- Tooltip descriptions of Defense Mode, Flanking, and Zone of Control have been updated to reflect the above changes.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Let me know what you think!

CHANGELOG
v1.2 - Released 2023-06-25
Changed name and description to better reflect what this mod does, along with an explanation for Zone of Defense. Fixed custom text incompatibility with other mods. (Thanks for helping with troubleshooting RambelZambel!) Also fixed Defense Mode - Turn to Stone and Defense Mode - Protective Wall unintentionally extending Defense Mode to all adjacent hexes. (Dev Note: Must have missed that when I remade the mod from scratch whoops.)
