Shields

Epic Knights Compatibility

Full support for Epic Knights (magistuarmory) shields! Patterns render correctly on all paintable Epic Knights shield types – Heater, Kite, Round, Elliptical, Tartsche, and Pavese – each with its own precisely calibrated shape so the pattern matches the shield silhouette perfectly. The overlay is layered on top of Epic Knights' own renderer, so both mods play together without visual conflicts. banners
