I agree it will be fixed. But I'm not sure how you would notice it. The main effect seems to be nerfing spearmen, but I assumed that was a modelling decision about the power of knights rather than anything to do with shields. The various sword and shield units seemed to do ok at what they were supposed to do (beat up spears). Peasants were too strong but without lots of other unshielded melee units it was hard to see a pattern relating to the absence of a shield as a factor. Maybe some glitches with 2H units contributed to this.

I'm more embarassed that I did not notice the 2H bug. Then again, my billmen still died horribly against cav in the demo when they were not bugged, so I excuse myself of even that failing.
