All German units seem to have only white shields. Plutarch mentions them when describing the Cimbrian cavalry (but does not mean Germans only used that color). I think Cimbrian champion cavalry could still have only white shields. Other units could have more varied colors (or just player color)

I don’t think anything gets whiteish, however there is a shadow cutoff distance (which can be disabled in your graphics settings)

@Obelix I just didn't want to constantly shove that link on people's faces, but issues that have already been addressed in Thoughts on the Spartans/Athenians come up way too often
