i dont see a problem with the amount of ranged nords in hard and ragnarok mode as is. The problem for me is with the maps. first defence and swadian town are just examples. you will find that on these maps the nords bunch up from a single direction and allow for the range to easily pick them off with a need for only 1-2 shielders if that! I propose that the maps be made harder so that the shielders and commando slashers are needed once again and you don't have people passing up maps just to get to first defence. but, then again who wants to shield these days when shielding is so unrewarding?

Shielding would not feel so unrewarding if it was a must have to progress, like it used to be.  Swadian town and First Defense are great maps!  How would changing two of the most popular maps improve the game?

that still doesn't change the fact that shielders get significantly less xp for a far more tedious and boring job.

Shielding never will be the best part of the game.  As the game is now, it does get rather boring stood doing nothing for full and semi waves.  Thats the point of this topic= try find ways on playing commando more fun again.

you do realise that there is no difference standing around with your shield up no matter how many range nords there are. also less range nords will no doubt make it easier for archers to kite meaning even less shielders?
