Shields?

[Andreas]

He describes everyone's armor. Cairhienin with their bell-shaped helms, Children with their chainmail and conical helms, Tairen noblemen with their gilded breastplates, and even the Illian rebels with their rusty discs sewn onto leather jerkins. What isn't mentioned is any sort of protection for arms or legs beyond simple chainmail.

As for the mod, I think it would be good if they included shields and such, as it would expand the tactical variety of units.

I should refrase my self... He do not describe anyone in full. He never say the tairens have trousers, but we have to assume that....
