+ | Armor is the protective equipment used to reduce/deflect damage coming from enemy weapons. It comes in several pieces, each one protecting certain area. The purpose of each piece is pretty much self-explanatory. Note that the breastplates only protect upper/lower torso areas, while the mail shirts also cover the upper arms. Throat, ears, nose, fingers, lips and teeth are exposed, even in full armor. The 4 best materials for armor are, in that order, {{l|adamantine}}, {{l|steel}}, {{l|bronze}}, {{l|iron}}. | ||
− | + | Concerning armored enemies you are likely to meet, it is advisable to equip your military dwarves with at least bronze armor. Testing in the arena shows that armored dwarves have a huge advantage over the unarmored ones, usually taking no casualties while making short work of their enemies. (Well now that is really new and unexpected,sire!)<br> | |
+ | It should be noted that armor material is extremely important now, for example fully iron-armored dwarves with iron short swords stand no chances against steel equipped ones. Same material cutting weapons cannot pierce same material armor ( e.g. steel short swords vs steel armor). | ||
− | + | It is unclear whether the armor user skill affects combat in any way, since the movement speed and armor penetration looks the same for legendary armor users and untrained users. | |

In fortress mode, "under" layers cannot be put on over "over" layers, so, for instance, a dwarf cannot put on socks unless it first removes its shoes. They can wear over layers without putting an under layer on first, which explains their fondness for "going commando" (trousers without loincloth). Dwarves will only put on the specific armor they are told to put on -- unless they are not told what to wear. | In fortress mode, "under" layers cannot be put on over "over" layers, so, for instance, a dwarf cannot put on socks unless it first removes its shoes.

This means you can wear three suits of chain mail (total size 45) plus another suit of chain or plate on top of them. On top of this, you can add six cloaks. | |

Since in 40d a breastplate ([[40d:plate armor]]) required 3 bars and chain required 2, it's a good bet that this can be viewed as a (minor) bug. |

− | In | + | In adv and arena mode, putting a pair of socks(or any under-layer foot wear) on before putting on a pair of boots(or any over-layer foot wear) will keep you from putting on the last boot. So the order sock, sock, boot, boot doesn't work, but changing the order to sock, boot, sock, boot does. This is a very minor bug. |
