Javelins should do more damage to shields

[aerational]

From what I understand their whole purpose was to destroy shields, but in this game a shield can be filled to the brim with javelins and not break.

Even if it doesn't break, a shield with a bunch of javelins embedded (and some of these look like porcupines by the end of a battle), should at least be cumbersome and unusable.

Only the pilum was designed to hamper shield use, and it is coded with a bonus vs shields.

Hmmm... so if a stack of 5 javelins plus a quiver weighs 6.0, then we can assume each javelin weighs about 1.0. Now if you carry a shield with 20 javelins stuck in it, shouldn't that increase your weight by 20? That should slow you down a little.

explosive javelins would break immersion i guess
