maybe instead of giving every faction the same loadout but a different color they should make them unique and not give shock infantry to most if not all of the factions in the game. what happened to the cavalry only khergits or the foot infantry/archer only nords? if they wanted to not limit what people can choose in a multiplayer match maybe they shouldn’t have used preset classes in the first place and instead gave people customizable loadouts.
shock infantry is already ridiculously powerful as it is (unless you are empire but they suck at everything) so I’m not sure why you would want to give them a shield to top it off. if you want protection from archers just pick regular infantry??
