That post is historically inaccurate.  Check out this picture to explain the standard viking so you all know what they were truly like.

General Discussion / Shields Requiring Agility?

« on: July 24, 2012, 06:00:09 am »

First off I'd like to say I didn't know whether to post this in the suggestion forum or here in general. If needed I will re-address the topic there.

I was looking up some build types today using a calculator and came across the fact that points in Shield require having points in Agility. How does that even make sense? Giving credit to the Warband community I'll assume most of you have felt how much weight a shield can bear on one's arm, especially over time. Why then does our game require us to be more agile to hold a wood/metal board strapped to an arm?  It makes sense to have agility contribute to the speed which someone is able to block with the shield, but not in holding one.

I was curious if it had to do with balancing issues of there being too many Skills attached to strength and it worked out better if Shield was added to Agility to make it more even.  There are 9 Skills being split 5 in Agility and 4 into Strength. It wouldn't hurt to switch Shield from Agility to Strength, aside from people with points in Shields possibly having extra points in Agility to build up their skills.

Thoughts?
