Tired of being a first-round pincushion? This mod makes your men - and some enemies - put their shields up before battle if the opposition has archers (except in ambushes, etc).

Initial release
In any battle where it's line vs. line, this mod makes your men - and enemies that are smart or disciplined enough - put their shields up before the battle starts if the opposition has archers. It's exactly as if the shield wall ability was used on the turn before the battle began (including fatigue costs).
Installation: Just drop the .zip file into the game's data directory. It's not necessary to unzip it. NOTE:mod_hooks ("modding script hooks") v16 or later is required.
