I think it would be good to add a shield to the unupgraded version, and leave the red one without a shield because a soldier with a shield and spear looks normal, but a soldier with a two-handed mace and a shield looks strange.
That's quite logical. I'm looking forward to the update :)
By the way, the ability of the Troglodytes (to break through walls) turned out to be very useful; it suits them perfectly (although over 100 Troglodytes can already break down gates with a single attack).
