Quick Overview
This mod changes the shield stats for all the base game shields
This should be save friendly, so feel free to install/uninstall at any time
NOT dependent on any other mods, should be compatible with earlier versions of game (I have not tested extensively)
Description
I've long been annoyed by the odd distribution of shield stats in Bannerlord. Why does the Adarga a small, low hitpoint shield, weigh more than most large kite shields? Why do most shields have a speed of 82, but a few random outliers have increased speed?
My intent with this mod is that it should be very compatible with the base game. My primary goal was to give shields more sensible weights for their relative size and hitpoints. Basically large sized shields with many hitpoints will be much heavier than a small sized low hitpoint shield. I also adjusted some hitpoint values and the speed value based on size. At this time I don't believe there are other categories of shield other than "Large Shield" (I could be mistaken), but I effectively categorized shields into Small, Medium, and Large on the basis of speed.
Small Shields - Due to limited missile protection area, small shields are quick to block and bash with. They will have a Speed of 96.
Medium Shields - Due to modest missile protection area, medium shields have an in-between Speed of 89.
Large Shields - Due to almost complete missile protection, large shield are slowest to block and bash with Speed of 82.
While initially I had simply sought to alter weight and hitpoints on the basis of a simple formula, this had the unintended consequence of making all shields pretty low value (with highest Shield Tier 3). So I modified my original formula to also incorporate Shields original Tiers as kind of "quality" factor. Basically you can think of it as the higher tier shields weighing less due to better materials/construction (but mostly it was for the sake of maintaining decent price range).
Ultimately the formula I used was: Weight = [(HP/100)*(Length/50)]*[1-(Tier*0.1)]
Noteworthy Shield Changes
To manually install simply extract the folder(s) to your Bannerlord Modules folder
(for most Steam users this is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules)
