How does Air Shield work?--2 rquestions

[Sheap]

Your first guess is correct, with an air shield of X, any arrow that would hit the unit has an X% chance of doing nothing.

I really should order the damn game instead of procrastinating until my new computer arrives

I thought it was an X chance of not hitting that unit/square, but that it would land somewhere, and that that "somewhere" might contain another unit.

I think the arrow just goes away. But I don't know for sure.

I'm not anything like sure, but I think they just go away. It is purely a visual impression, but it seems like those volleys into shielded troops just don't hit, rather than being deflected. I think you'd see more hits under such circumstances, where the Air Shield was merely moving the hits around until somebody's protection failed or it finally struck an empty square.

Air shield deflected missiles in Dom I. Not sure about 2 or 3.

It just goes away. Haven't seen any reason to think differently.
