Crouch-walking with shields.

Hey, I think something as simple as this could help solidify the role of heavy infantry and shield infantry.

Basically you can crouch now with the shield to protect nearly your whole body, but I think it could be good if you could also walk around like this. Especially with voice chat incoming, it could make for some really great formation plays and allow for ranks of spearmen to hang behind, or archers to use as cover.

Trading movement speed to become a walking defence seems like a fair trade, and would allow you to actually defend against those ace archers that can consistently land foot-shots. This would make for some badass plays on siege mode as well.

Just a small idea that I think could add a lot more depth to the game.
 
That would be hilarious in captain mode. Seeing a bunch of ai slowing moving towards your lines crouched with shields up. Then your cav hits em from the rear. Man, make this a thing!
