Shield bash?

I was thinking that a shield bash technique like in the Floris mod would be pretty sweet, I don't know if its been already suggested so sorry if it has.

The Peloponession Wars mod has it to, I think, the question is whether the stun would make it OP.

I voted yes simply to increase the options in combat. More stuff like this. I also want to see the ability to pull down shields and yank cavalry off of their horses.

This would make playing as a hoplite a good 1v1 class! Not that I'm saying it is weak in 1v1, but it's definitely a disadvantage having only one direction for attacking.

Kicking without a shield is way better than kicking with a shield (you can manually block all directions but down).  I always thought that was kind of a ridiculous imbalance considering that with a shield you could just lean your body weight into the person to move them around, or give them a good bash with the shield.  Remove kicking with shield, and make it into a shield bash.

In Floris, it allows for either a stun or a knockdown, you can still kick, its also annoying to use, unless you rebid it to something else, other wise you shield bash if you try to attack when your shield is up.

Yes, that particular implementation is annoying as fuck. Had it in some mods i played, disabled immediately.

This.

If anyone has played Vikingr you can knock cav off of their horses which i think is really neat.

Oh, and style matters way more than anything else regarding armor.

Yes for this. It could have the same effect as a kick with a slightly longer reach.
It could do a small amount of damage depending on sheild weight. And the sheild speed also could control the cooldown.
