OK ComG I had a look at your unit. I guess the easiest way to get the shield as you wish is not to rotate it in the NIF Viewer but to modify the shield texture in the associated skin file, spearman_128.dds (and in spearman_128_gloss.dds file too).

Please tell me if you find it better this way :

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help.

I did that quite simply, just image modification with GIMP or any picture software that supports dds. In the 2 spearman dds files, you have this very recognizable half-shield part on the right side. I just copied the half-symbol and pasted it after a symetrical switch (turn this "/" into a "\" ).
Then when the texture is used by the NIF Viewer, the shield symbol is upside down. Nothing complicated as you can see ;)
 
This is nicely done. I had hoped someone would make the spartans. Now this would be a worthy foe. What will the mythology mod be called?

Can you make the arms, er... solid-er. Looks a bit thin.
 
I think it's the greekphalanx, it's in the unique units folder (or better yet just copy the KFM tag from art definition for greek phalanx).

I tried Greek Phalanx, and I get a pink spear. :(
You must be missing its texture. Go to the original phalanx folder and grab all the DDS files there and copy them to whereever this unit is located, BUT DO NOT overwrite any files, just let the missing textures copy to there.
 
Great Unit, but I am having a problem installing it. I have copied all the phalanx DDS files to the new folder along with your files, but in game all I get is Red circles. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong.
