Board Shields - clickeverywhere - 05-04-2012
I've noticed that the marketplace board shields available for T3 crossbowmen are weaker than those available for T3 Skirmishers and T3 Infantry in every respect. The board shield unlocked for man at arms has these Stats:
| Spd rtng 81 Body armor15 Hit points400 Shield width43 Shield height100 |
while T3 Skirmishers and Sergeants unlock this:
| Knightly Heater Shield 2125 Difficulty: 1 StatsSpd rtng100 Body armor19 Hit points490 Shield width30 Shield height50 |
Seeing as the appeal of board shields has been greater HP with less armor resulting in advantages over axe strikes, current board shields are not up to snuff. I suggest a massive buff to board shield HP. Though 10000 would be a desirable number, I can compromise. But anything less than 800 would be an insult to me and my family.

The idea behind shields for crossbowman was that they are not supposed to be better or even on par with commando's shields. Their HP probably will get a buff, but dont expect a huge amount. The best shields will be for infantry. You will just have to get the idea of board shields being the massive HP no body armour shields out of your head. They will be pretty good, but Infatry will have better.

oooh, I see a TYPO! Nemeth; last sentence, 4th to last word: Infatry-> Infantry!
But, anyway, as a skirmisher i looked, but i couldn't buy any shields other than the first 3 that anyone can use.

You should be able to buy better shields now as Skirmisher. Was one of many oversights.
