Artillery Defense

Hmmm, one of the points about artillery is to engage a turtling player and force them out of that state. Without shields the health of buildings may be balanced to counteract. With artillery the only defense is a strong offense. If you stage a massive attack on the other guy's base, notably their artillery. They will lose some focus on bombing your base and some of their focus will move to self preservation.

So defense from artillery? Send waves of units at the guy and force his resources into other options than artillery. Tons of units going into battle were supposed to be the name of the game with PA. So the developers may be wanting more unit warfare than shield/defense spamming. Hence, the lack of any plans for shields in the game.
