Thrones reforged - all units have shieldwall

THIS MOD IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, THE AI IS WONKY, THIS SHALL BE FIXED IN FUTURE UPDATES

This is an overhauled combat mod for the mod Thrones Reforged. The premise is simple, it adds the ability for ALL shield wielding units to use the shield wall and shield castle abilities.
The shield wall ability simply has the same bonuses as the shield castle one, just halved.

1) Charging is now a deliberate choice you make!

If you want your units to charge into the enemies you must have shield wall turned off. The pro is that your units will rack up kills pretty quickly on the initial charge, the con is that they will also take quite a few casualties themselves.

2) If you do decide to engage an enemy unit, you can now do it in shield wall formation.

Your unit (even if running) will slow down in front of the enemy, stay in a neat formation and engage. Your units will be dying slower but also not killing many enemies, on top of staying neatly in formation.

The battles have now become an interesting balancing game between your front line units having to "hold the line" and your reserves being used to charge the enemy flanks. There is a lot more nuance to the battles now and I'm quite surprised at how much such a simple mod could bring. The historical accuracy of the engagements has improved, i feel like.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING SHIELD DOWN WHILE MARCHING MOD TO DISTINGUISH WHEN UNITS ARE IN SHIELD WALL FORMATION
