The Shield Problem(s)

[JeromeGrasdyke]

EDIT: You could have made a bigger deal of telling everyone you'd changed it from Rome BTW.

Aha... ok, my misunderstanding. I thought you were asking whether it "should" do that in general, rather than specifically, "does it do that in Medieval 2". The answer to the second question is, I'm not sure without checking the Med2 code, and I don't currently have access :) Sry about that.

OK, thing is according to everyone the shield value WAS unaffected by AP, (unlike armour), in RTW. And their are notes in the Export_Descr_unit file that says it still shouldn't in M2TW so when some tests showed it WAS effecting the shield value I was understandably confused. Especially since I’d also seen a M2TW diagram showing it actually saying the shield was unaffected by AP.

I can say that in game tests show it DOES effect the shield.

I was just pointing out that this apparent change between RTW and M2TW is quite a big one and it wasn't advertised very well, so I wasn't having a go, i was just expressing suprise at the lack of mention on it.
