Shields Down While Marching

Is this mod ever going to be updated? It works still but quickly crashes the game.

buns

nice work! but since Britannia has been updated the mod doesn't work anymore.
update?

I just made a mod that combines this one with "faces of battle", is it okay with you if I upload it on the workshop?

@Coach: The reason CA seems to have done it the way they did was to denote that the shieldwall-capable units are in shieldwall formation, without toggling a button to put them into such.

In previous games, like Attila, the player had to toggle shieldwall on, resulting in them moving differently (ie. shields up) than with the ability toggled off.

In ToB, shieldwall-capable units are always getting some benefit to shieldwall formation, provided they aren't 1) running or 2) in "Loose" order. Full benefits of the formation set in when the unit is holding still and braced; but partial combat benfits still apply when the unit is walking. In other words, in ToB, when the units are "marching" around on the battle map, they aren't treated as if in marching order, but in battle order, meaning that shieldwall-capable units are moving around in formation, not just and merely walking.

I simply cannot understand why the developers didnt include this/fix it in a patch.. I mean walking with shields up around the map looks very dumb, you would think the devs would notice it. I cant believe they all looked at it and thought, yep, that looks great, lets ship the game.
Thanks a lot for this mod!

Works for Shieldwall

Does this work with Shieldwall Overhaul?

Just useful. Cool

The mod crashes on startup of the game. but for the time I could play it, it made the game so much better with such a little change
