Talk:Armor
Is the armor coverage graphic incorrect? For the shirt, tunic, and toga/leather/mail armor, specifically. According to the raws, shirt has UBSTEP:MAX, and so should cover the face in addition to the neck. Meanwhile, toga/leather/mail armor have UBSTEP:1, and should not cover the face. Tunic has UBSTEP:0 and LBSTEP:1, so should not cover the upper arms but should cover the upper legs. Either the graphic is wrong or the tag descriptions are.
"Items in Dwarf Fortress must be equipped in a specific order. For example, a dwarf must equip a layer type of Under before he equips a layer type of Over. The complete order is: Under, Over, Armor, Cover. It is common among civilians to see a dwarf equip pants with no undergarments due to this restriction, even when an undergarment is available. This issue doesn't typically occur with soldiers, however." - doesn't seem to be true? Make a few loincloths (under) on embark, dwarves wearing trousers will equip them just fine.
"† It appears that equipping footwear on one foot can affect what can be equipped on the other. For example, if a uniform calls for socks and high boots, a dwarf will only equip 3 of those 4 items between both of their feet." - This seems to be a uniform bug, not an equipment-on-one-foot-affects-the-other issue. Dwarves can equip two boots fine over two civilian socks.
Heard that Dwarves may have knees now. This could affect armor coverage.
Armor size scaling.
Does the size of armor's user affect protective properties of armor? In other words: is it harder to penetrate armor piece used by Elephant man than armor piece used by Dwarf, if both pieces are identical in all but user's size (same model, material, quality, state of worn, same weapons with same attackers, ETC). Also, does armor used by bigger creatures get heavier than one used by smaller ones? 109.62.205.122 15:14, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- If previous description was too complex: is elephant-sized breastplate thicker than man-sized breastplate? 109.62.205.122 21:42, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
