Yep. If you can hold off your GA until you have the ability to go into Mobilization you have 2 additional shields from EVERY TILE that produces a shield already.
Now factor that in with a factory.
I used the Napoleonic Conquest with Britain and the shield output was bloody scary.
Triples your production from your irrigated plains and shielded grasslands.
I found out something annoying though - the shield boost doesn't apply to bombard units.
