Translated:
"Eh, Infantry are already assumed to have shields, so I don't think its useful.
I do, however, think that infantry should have better defense vs. bows (and bows should have weaker defense vs. infantry).
If there was a unit that could counter trueshots that might stop being hands down the best units in the game."

Just shooting off a couple of ideas which i liked.
In another free game I played (empire universe 2), millitary units aren't actually "fully made".
What they do is have different chassi and different weapon and module (cargo, cloacking, sheilds) and we get to choose what we equipe our units with (depending on availability and efficiecy).
the chassis could also be reequiped with better stuff once they are researched.

@G0DsDestroyer: Are you trying to double the length of your thread by simply copying posts?  If you go on with it, you could reach those (currently) 27 pages of the H? thread  Crafting would perhaps enable shields, but would it really be better having variable troop types, as we yet don't even know the entire mechanism of battle? (troopnumbers, terrain,...). I think it's complex enough for this game, else that would be really hard reballancing all the troopstats. After some thinking, I need to redraw my +1 on this topic

I like the idea of having optional equipment though that adds bonuses to your troops. This may be implemented in the form of crafting, which is unfortunately at the bottom of the Newness list.  |

Shields are implied in the game, otherwise the units doing the "Tortoise Formation" would look rather dorky.
However I do like the idea of making them explicit and optional for troops using one handed weapons.
Shields would increase defense with penalty to carrying capacity and movement speed.
The units that could use shields would be as follows:
Spearman: Would also penalize attack, since without a shield it would likely be wielded as a two-handed weapon.
Ranged (Orc): Orcs could still throw their spears while bearing a shield.
Infantry(Basic): Production cost implies that advanced infantry wield two swords, which is way cool, but would prevent a shield.
Good things to add on as well
