@hwfanatic I completely understand your reasoning, and thank you for the explanation! I opened that pandora's box and created an entire Balance Mod, beginning with your fixes. I published it on the workshop, for other people to enjoy it. I hope you don't mind.

@Nummer90 I appreciate your comment, but keep in mind that there are a lot of units that look a certain way in the game but have different equipment in the game files. We cannot be sure whether the model texture or the unit description is the proper one. My original intention was to fix all of these discrepancies, but it is a pandora's box I am unwilling to open. At least for thorax hoplites and thureos hoplites I know for a fact they should have thureos shield because it is in their name.

You are free to create derivatives of my mod and perform any changes you'd like. Open the pack file in rpfm 4.0.10 navigate to db/land_units_tables/@unit_shield_type_fix_land_units and add any units from the data_rome2 game pack then change the values.

Thanks for correcting some mistakes on CA´s side!
When looking at the armour rating of some other units, I noticed a few more mistakes. For example Thraccian Nobles only get the 35 armour rating from Spolas-armour, altough they are clearly wearing bronze armour, wich would give them 60 armour . Another example are the Boii Sword-followers recieving the 40 armour rating from mail, even they should only get 30 from the Leather they are wearing.
I would be very grateful if you could add these fixes to your mod!
