Some materials have a better protection value than others - metal is better than leather (go figure). Any piece of clothing or armor provides some level of protection against damage, including damage from heat and cold weather.
Practically speaking, there is no difference. There is usually not a 1:1 relationship between every piece of armor and an armor level - it can be very much a "mix and match" situation.įor a general discussion of how armor works and some of the game mechanics behind it, including charts on quality and material, see Armor. However, overall, rest assured that, factoring in the known variables of quality and material, your intuition will generally be correct - pieces of chain armor are better than the equivalent pieces of leather armor, and plate pieces better than chain.Īlso, any soldier or hunter will have one of 4 levels of armor designated: clothing, leather armor, chain (armor), or plate (armor). The exact piece, quality, and material all factor in, at least - combat is not fully understood.
Different armor pieces work slightly differently to provide more or less protection in different way. In Dwarf Fortress, armor (as so many things) is not a simple formula where a single, bigger number replaces a smaller one. There are several different separate pieces of armor that can each cover a different part of a dwarf's body and provide protection.
