well firstly you download the other mod and play that one. anyway this is the only mod that focuses on the 1080AD timeframe so i don't know what other mod it is.

What he is refering to are the hidden norman shields models of Native... You know, /those long teadrop- shaped shields, that used to be around pre 1.*, and still are around somewhere buried into the game files...

ahh.... still nothing to do with this mod.

... except of course for the little fact anyone, judging from the Mod's name, would expect them to be logically over the place ....

England, as a whole faction, in this mod should be a lot more 'Normanesque' than they currently are.
Both 'English' cavalry and infantry would use the kite-shield extensively in this period with varying patterns.
Then again there's also the fact that heraldry as a system wasn't invented until much, much later and therefore Irish warriors with 'harp' surcoats wouldn't be anywhere to be seen either. Neither would the great-kilt or tartan patterns seen within the mod
There are a few things about this mod that aren't in there that you'd expect and others that are that you wouldn't.
Guess it's just something for history buffs like me to complain about really

ok guys thx.
And it has in so far to do with the mod BECAUSE 1080 !!! was 14 ! years after 1066 ... and noticed something ?
1066 was the date the NORMANS conquered England. Thus the English knights are NO English knights actually. It s Norman Knights, 14 years after the invasion. Even Richard Lionheart was concerned to be a "Norman King", much later.

In my eyes a typical issue in "let the forum rules grip".
btw. I have found kite shields in Breaveheart. This is a very interesting thing, becaues it plays 200 years after your mod.

And in MTW2 they are standard. Especially for Britain.

Then again, neither M2TW nor escoecially Braveheart are known to be pinnacles of hitoricity ( kilts, ffs...)

so, may I ask what your "pinnacle of hitoricity " was ? This wasn t meant to be a prove. But that it only were 14 years away from the invasion should have been ...
Why should sombody have sayed "oww we conquered England. So lets change our shields now!" ? "yeah, lets do this finally !!!"
Except for the pattern.
And it WAS the most modern and (most used later) shield at this age.
