instant crash when start fight with this
sad there is not a single mod for any decent shield on kenshi... i mean animations, sadly.

there is a way to fix this mod? when my chars are in the saber combat stance they just stay with thier arms down vanilla race

does this mod ♥♥♥♥ up your guys neck for anyone else?

Hiya, I love your "Protective Shield" mod. I love the design of it, especially for a Roman style faction playthrough. I assume this works with that shield?

More shields tilín!!!

can you make more realistic shields

hey stumple, I'm the community admin for project genesis - world overhaul. if you don't mind can we message me? if not thats fine too. I was curious if we could work with you and use your mods (among other animations) to help spice up the overhaul and also have you help us patch in these animations and create new unique animations specifically for the overhaul? if you want contact me on discord @ atlas#8060 or DM me here on steam.

Are there blueprints for these?

Hi! I do animation and would like to do animation for this game. Help me figure out how to add it to the game

nice telling us what slot it takes up in the description

My experience has lined up with raccoon's below. Also, non-modified blocking animations cut short for some reason (but it doesn't affect the block).

I love this mod, but some extra animations are really funny. All my bench workers look like they're... well... pleasuring a trouser snake into their faces... Also people rest their hands on swords that dont exist, and I'm not sure if you can fix this but my sabre guys use the block animation with the big sabres as well (2 vertical slots)

They planned to add in arrow deflection technique instead of shield. I got this from the vanilla animations. Some of the features from this animation mod is new and they may be add in later on.

Thanks, still sounds as a mod just wish shields were in the base game. I get the developers have a image in mind for the game but if your gonna hav ranged weapons shields would be nice know what I mean? Its to easy to have harpoon turrets destroy a Holy Nation raiding party. Some day :( we will see people proprly protect themselfs and the Gods wil rejoice.

@Lewd God
Shields take the primary weapon slot. If your spear is compact enough to fit in the smaller weapon slot it'd work just fine but you won't have the shield animations as they're sabre specific ATM.

This is just a question from someone who hasnt subscribed to this mod yet but what slot does the shield take? I'm kinda designing my military wing around a hoplite build so is a spear and sheild possible?

Terrific

Consider making "shield" versions of already existing weapons that are craftable / purchasable at your shield shops. That way you don't have to overwrite existing animations.

Is a sword / shield combo possible in one slot? That way it could have proper defense bonuses. Don't know about animation challenges there.

On the topic of custom animations, I'd love to see a parrying dagger with no protection but decent boost in combat skills. That's the closest we can get to dual wielding...
