Re: Infantry without shields. When to buy? How to
Shield costs extra resources.
1. Not all armies have access to bows. Use shieldless infantry against such enemies.
2. Use shieldless infantry when shield can't help you - against Illithids, mages, tramplers, giants (they tend to punch through heavy armor anyway). Also against Abysians with aura, I guess you'd prefer to kill them as soon as possible. It's no good hiding behind a shield if you're getting burned.
3. Shut down shooters with a spell like Storm, to make shields much less useful.
