If you make plate armor, it is assumed you make a shield as well. All units with plate on have better archer defense, because they have a shield. Just look at the +2 defense Halberdiers get.

I am not amused.

Hyu defended on a mountain vs. Trueshots? Haha! Joke is on hyu. Forest vould hef been better choice - the honly place vere archers are pretty terrible.
Hi still tink dat addink shields is stupidly unneccesary mechanic. Rather dan makink tinks needlessly complicated, vhy not just buff infantry so dey can hactually fill dere niche a little better?

yeah but my cavalry and men at arms would also be hurt by the forest.
that's something that could be done instead of actually having the shields. Make a research thing that allows your troops to have shields and more advanced shields so that they can have a better defense

True, but he was surrounded by mountains and a forest so i thoght the mountain would work better.

Ho and why didn't anyone mention wooden sheild? |
Sorry about that the wooden shields would be put above the leather shields and the light iron would be made with some wood, so it's light

"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."

That's what the shields would be for increasing defense against arrows mainly.
