mlieCombat Shields Mod adds a wide range of shields from different historical and technological eras, allowing pawns to specialize further in melee combat and certain ranged combat roles.
Combat Shields Mod Features
The Combat Shields Mod adds additional shield types designed for different combat situations, from tribal and medieval shields to advanced ballistic and imperial designs.
The Combat Shields Mod also includes mod settings to control which ranged weapons can be used with shields.
Shield types
- Nguni Shield: A lightweight South African shield made from wood and leather, designed mainly for offensive hand-to-hand combat rather than sustained projectile protection.
- Wicker Shield: A Persian-inspired wicker shield that offers reasonable protection from simple projectiles while staying lightweight, but performs worse against melee thrusts.
- Aspis: A convex Greek hoplite shield made from wood and steel, offering good coverage in close formations.
- Scutum: A Roman-style heavy infantry shield made from wood and steel, balancing weight and protection.
- Norse Shield: A sturdy Viking-style shield made from thick timber and steel, useful in melee and against projectiles.
- Kite Shield: A long cavalry shield that protects the user’s legs well, though it can be awkward for infantry.
- Pavise Shield: A large and heavy shield designed to protect archers and crossbowmen from incoming projectiles, but cumbersome in melee.
- Buckler: A very small steel shield meant for close-quarters weapon deflection rather than projectile protection.
- Riot Shield: A lightweight law enforcement shield useful against crowds and unarmed opponents, with limited projectile protection.
- Assault Shield: An advanced composite shield with integrated sensors, designed for close-quarters military combat with strong protection but limited coverage.
- Tactical Shield: A medium-sized soft ballistic shield made from reinforced textiles, offering wider coverage at a lower weight.
- Ballistic Shield: A heavy advanced shield designed to withstand high-caliber gunfire, but extremely cumbersome.
- Carapace Shield: A highly advanced imperial shield that provides strong protection and additional combat enhancements.
