Hi Jason,
It is a great game, thanks for making it.
I am afraid I still am having a hard time trying to figure out which is
better then others. The heirarchy of cloth to metal is easy enough, my
problem is the description terms that are used, as well as the heirarchy of
armors within their class. For instance the metal armors, my instinct made
the weak to strong line up as copper, bronze and then iron. You said that
Bronze comes before copper(describing it's hardness) making the line up
bronze, copper, then iron.
In leather armors, the natural progression seems to be rabbit, deer, wolf,
dire wolf and then caveman, however, I don't really know if caveman types
are worse or better then wolf types. The same with the cloth types. I have
no idea if cloth is worse or better then linen, felt, cloth or whatever.
The real problem is that with words, it is impossible to make it obvious for
everyone because we all have diffrent idea's about what a material might be
like.
A number representing the defensive ability of the item attached to each
armor would clear everything up immediatly. All one would have to do is
compare the defensive number of the armor. I suppose the same could be said
of weapons as well.
Anyway, that was just my opinion.
Thanks in advance for the help,
al

Hello,
Entombed is the game I'm currently programming. The effectiveness of armor
is intimately tied to the material's hardness. So all cloth-type armor
provides the least protection, then leather types, finally, the metals.
The
metals use their real-life values, so you can use these as a guide. Copper
is harder than bronze (but harder to work with), Iron is harder than
copper.
What armor you can wear is dependent on what job you chose at character
creation.
Fighters can wear all metal armor. Thieves can wear leather. The others
can
wear cloth-types.
Hope that helps!
Thanks!
Jason

Hi,
Not sure who to direct this too.
I have a question about armor and weapons. They are listed when examined
as
dubiour, poor, decent and good, but is a good cloth tunic better then a
dubious bronze breastplate?
What is the level of progressive armor types? For example, what is
wool,
compared to linen, cloth, felt copper and bronze, and I think rabbit,
deer,
wolf, dire wolf, caveman leathers etc and so forth?
thanks for any help
