I thought it was -1 to make a unit exert only ZOC over itself, and
0 to make it exert over its cell. I use -1 ZOC in Bellum to create
the very effect Elijah is asking about.

And I have seen cases where an undiscovered unit that could
normally be attacked by the unit trying to enter its ZOC instead
simply blocks the entering unit rather than starting combat with
it. I think this is a bug, and it is on my list of things to do.
