Commando seem to be the most used and overpowering class so why not make them slightly harder to play as? We could split off Shielder to a whole different class type and make commando only 2 handed. Commandos could keep the heavy armor but lose the great shield skill they have. An example for the body armor would be that commandos keep the Transitional and all the stronger plate armors. The Shielder class could have medium armor but really good shield skill and 1 handed. An example for body armor would be that the Shielder class could use more mail type armors since they have to hold up a shield the entire time and that gets quite heavy in the first place they could use armors like the Mail Hauberk and Heavy Lamellar armor types. This would make it so more teamwork would be involved for essential parts on the battlefield instead of just bringing all commandos. Shield walls could not be formed effectively unless Shielders were on the battle field and Commandos could be more powerful but use 2 handed weapons instead of having long pikes to slash with like Pikemen. I hope this idea is helpful in some way.
