0.85.23+6
Introducing new game mechanics - "projectiles blocking".
it's a kind of 'ranged counter'.

1 .when a enemy character with shield (or a special trait) stands between your archer and target, the hit-chance is reduced by 90% and the blocking (guardian) enemy is most likely hit (90% as you can see)
2. any character wielding shield reduces damage of projectiles by 33%.
with this mechanic we can use the guardian, spearman and footman (who also acts as 'projectiles blocker') as a wall for blocking incoming projectiles.
