The shield is flat, only the 3 middle gems are prominent like the reference, and is saved by the name brit_battersea_shield, only need to make the wood back and is good to go.

But with the "light lines" on the top it does not look flat.

Eh, high contrast/saturation colors are objectively bad. The bright yellow on top of gaul buildings is bad, the ridiculously bright green grasses on a lot of map textures are bad, etc. When people mention that mainland is ugly now, that's what they mean by it.

Also more distinction between gaul and brits would be cool. I think somewhat brighter colors work well for brits but not so much for gauls.

That is the topic of theory colour that I mentioned some time ago. I wasn't referring to you,  @Lion.Kanzen as you said in another post.

A little bit off-topic (because it refers mostly to land textures), and also the mood of the discussion was too much tense, but is interesting enough.

Hi,

I see you struggle to get accessible documents about La Tène culture. I propose to help you a bit.

If you want an accessible material, there is page from someone working for museums and historians to make re-enactment items:

Don't forget there is an evolution of the armament, even in a barbarian culture:

Well, I don't know where to start. But firstly I noticed you are using osprey illustrations and random archeological finds taken on different websites. The problem with osprey illustrations is that they are often very old and based on very insufficient sources. For exemple, there is often anachronistic choice in Angus McBride's illustrations, mixing items from the early LaTène and the Late LaTène periods. There is even an illustration of a helvetian warrior from him where he used Hallstatt and Bronze Age material to describe a scene occurring in 100BC:

Another example, one previously posted:

You can see a strange shield used by standard-bearer. It is actually based on a stele from Bormio made by peoples of the Golasecca culture around 500BC. The scene is depicting the Hannibal's army crossing the alps in 218BC and the reaction of a Gallic tribe (the Allobroges or the Taurini probably). Not very accurate.

The other thing is that Osprey illustrations often depicts round shields on Gallic warriors. But there is absolutely no evidence of round shields in La Tène culture. Maybe it has existed among the insulars celts (Britain and Ireland) but not in the continent.
