I agree.
It would be enjoyable to have different shield skins. :)

I was thinking for the Round shield. How about a Greek shield. Or a Black Uriki Shield from LOTR. :)

For the Pavise shield that you can only get with the Cross Bow. How about A Japenyes Reed Pavise shield.

There is currently no way available to add them, TB won't include them even if you made em. My guess is that they pose technical challenges that swords and helmets do not.

Then What if the Custom Sheilds stayed the same shape?
And just gave them a re-skin, (New Textures)?

And not things like this Below. Because like you said. It would change the mechanics of the shield.

Lastly. I just got an idea for the Tower Shield the knights use. Give it a new texture, that makes it look like a Romen Shield. :)

I actually thought of making the orcs skield in LOTR. I forgot if they're orcs tor what, tthe ugly creatures that killed humans at helms deep.
I plan on making it during summer. If I still remember how to use those programmes :p

The shield looks great so far. :) Any idea if we can stick different emblems and colorations on it? Onces it's finished I mean.

Or will it be like weapons and helms? Where you can't change any detail on it.

All of the shields sadly work the same way. 1 unique texture for a model.

That's ok.

Though there are some Helms that come with a variety set. Like open Helm and closed helm.

So maybe there can be some variety for certain unique Shields from the workshop. Like for example if they made Greek Hoplite Shields. There could be 2-5 Greek shields that are only different by the Greek emblems that are on it. :)

Or am I wrong?

Sadly Greek shields go against what TB will allow. Their art guide says weapons from the year 0-1500 So Ancient Greece does not fit in there.

That makes sense. Considering that TB also made "Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior" as a sister game to "Chivalry: Medieval Warfare". I can see why they wouldn't want to blur the lines between them.

So then will any shield from around the world work? As long as it was around between the years 0-1500?

Examples: Hide shield from Africa or the Americas? Or a type of Pavise shield from japan?

Sadly not,the shields need to conform to pre existing shapes because they have block volumes in them that determine what blocks and what won't. So basically, new shield models and old shapes is all we can do.
