Cataph's Shield Block Icons

Description
Bit of an oddity that I end up making a mod of this kind for WH3 after doing it for Troy.

Do you like SHIELDS? Do you like not having to block arrows with your FACE?
Do you like being able to tell the difference between the percentages of shield block without SQUINTING or hovering on a 16 pixel icon?
Do you like random UPPERCASE?

Alright, this mod won't practically help you with the latter, but-

Ok, simple icon replacement time.

This mod doesn't like the new shield block icons in WH3 and replaces them with something closer to what they were in WH2, but wait, there's MORE! cause I made the shapes different too to help quick identification and colourblind peeps.
Real size comparison:

or, in the field, and the comparison that led me to do this:


At the moment I don't do anything about effect icons or whatever. That's not necessary.

The new icons are not only crisper but even if you couldn't see colours (and the difference between the tier 1 block and tier 3 is minimal) you can tell by the shape. Tier 1 blocks are smol, Tier 2 blocks are the regular triangular shield, Tier 3 are BIG, CHONKY AND and and idk, it's a big squarey shield. You'll only see that one if you buff tier 2 blocks big time.


Can enable/disable at any time, compatible with whatever doesn't do the same.


It also took me much longer to make some sort of mod logo than to think about and make the icons.

The author can create one Soldier card Show Buildings grade MOD !It's also convenient for newcomers to visually see the differences in strength between different units

An ingenious mod. Thanks again. Please, make an analog for unit ranks.

i have never then this golden shield before, not in vanilla or anywhere else weirdly enough.

I do admit, this mod makes the differentiation between bronze and gold much more clear.

i will never understand why people will say "i don't know what this mod does" when they clearly haven't read the mf description through. like dawg it says it so plainly inside the box lmao
