shields edit by dansmeah
as per the table screenshot, what i did was essentially divide the shield block value (rounded down to the nearest tens place) by 10, and set that as a bonus for armor and for melee defense.
this mod also slightly nerfs ranged vs no shield units, as you can see the block chance for no shield, i have raised to 10, so there is a small chance (thinking about this realistically) that the soldiers armor will deflect the arrow, which did happen of course irl.
update 11/10/2022: +15 missle block chance for all
