This is a good objection. However, there should be a way to get decent
shield production early game without sheer luck. Preferably a building
that gives increased shield production.

I experimented with a Sawmill building in one ruleset that made Forest
tiles yield 2 extra shields when worked, at 30 build cost and 3 upkeep. It
worked quite well, IMHO.

Someone suggested a Blacksmith building on the forums.
