360 shield for war wagons

I love the visuals of war wagons, but they're very squishy. This mod adds a 360° 55% (silver) shield to war wagons, after all: how does a massive wooden wall not count as a shield. Cannons will still rip them to shreds but they'll now toe to toe against archers.

If you're curious, base game: war wagons smite pistoliers and outriders, are fairly even against archers (per unit not per cost) and get destroyed by handgunners if stationary.
Modded war wagons will lose very slightly against hand gunners if stationary.

Part of reason for war wagons doing better versus missile cavalry is every gunner on the war wagon tends to fire at the same entity, often the whole unit will fire on the same entity. This tends to overkill entities, which against units with few entities isn't a waste, especially if the entities are large, and so other entities are more likely to get hit by the 'missed' shots. Against units with lots of entities, then losing 1 entity out of 90 per volley isn't a crippling, missed shots left or right may still hit a different entity but shots up or down will usually just hit the ground.

Is it perfectly balanced? No. Is it brokenly OP? Also no.

Compatibility. This mod changes the stats of war wagons, when combined with any other mod that does the same, then one of the stat changes will be overwritten.
