    Default How to keep rectangular shields in DeI ?

    Hello there !

    With the 1.2.3 version of DeI it seems that fully rectangular shields of imperial reforms legionnaries are gone.

    I'm looking for a way to submod and keep the alternative of having both the "curved rectangular" scutum and the "full rectangular" ones available after the imperial reforms. Like in this video where you can see both type of shields https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goN9UmsTnXM

    Any help would be appreciated, ty in advance

    The reason it was replaced is that if you look up the Legionaries on Trajan's colum, they are all using the rounded Scutum and not the Square one. This leads to believe that the Square one was not as popular as we believed. I'm not a DEI member that's just my interpretation.

    Indeed, but when you'll have expanded as much as in 100 AD, having rectangular shields doesn't seem that weird
