Footman's Tower Shield

You stand at attention outside the gates of your enemy’s fortress, standing alongside other footmen. Inside, their people are filled with terror, deafened by your army’s trumpets and noise. Arrows rain down and you and your fellow soldiers form a barrier with your enormous Footman Tower Shields.

There is nothing that can stop you. The design of your shield allows you to stand in close formation, advancing on their defenders and dispatching them quickly.

DETAILS
