I was wondering if there's a list of shields used in EB.
Understanding how the shields look like helps me know the units a little better, cause many units are named after the shields the units bear. A list that describe the shields based on how they're shaped, built (material), and the factions and units that use them would be informative.
I know a lot of this information is on the info page for the unit, but having a list makes it a little easier to compare side by side what are the differences. It also helps compare the equipment of troops across different factions.
For example, the pelte used by the peltastai looks kind of similar to the thureos, but I can't fully tell what the difference is.
Some shields I see again and again in my Romani campaign:
scutum - carried by Roman legionnaires, Lusotannan scutarii
pelte -
thureos - carried by legacy Greek thereophoroi
spides (in general) - seem to be carried by Makedonian units
chalkispides
argyraspides
