As Dwarf Fortress is now available on Steam, the complex game has found a new market of players that have much to learn. There are different materials that can be made into armor, and they can be made in individual pieces. For example, a dwarf can mix and match by wearing a leather helmet and a metal chest plate. Much like in real life, wearing a shirt could protect against minor grazes, and so in Dwarf Fortress, clothing can be considered armor even though it is almost useless. In simple terms, there are three classes of armor: clothing, leather, and metal.
