Bannerless Tableau Shields

Bannerless Tableau Shields Dynamically reconstructed shields

This OSP introduces a number of dynamically reconfigured shields - including Native's Norman shields, which haven't been seen in a long time. In contrast to original tableau shields, they often had designs in the foreground rather than just banners showing the troops which may have been inappropriate. The design is semi-randomized by adjusting the hero's banner offset, but includes presentation to assign fixed designs to player characters and loyal companions. I guess the goal of this project is to add variety without creating duplication of item entries in the troop inventory so as not to unbalance item loot rates or item quantities. Changes should be made to module_items, tableaus, scripts, grids, and optional constants and presentations.

Compared to the original tableau shields, these often feature designs in the foreground instead of merely featuring whatever inappropriate banner the troop might field.

The goal of this project is, I suppose, to add variety without creating duplicates of item entries in troop inventories so as to not unbalance item loot ratios or merchandise quantities.
