Does armour have damage type weakness/strength or is it all about the armour rating?
So, first time playing and I'm at around 10 hours of gameplay with all my bronze tools built. I'm currently going for the buckler and mace but something that caught my eye also were the bronze armour. Wearing both of them gives +4 armour over the Troll Leather armour but -10% movement penalty.
It wouldn't be so bad an upgrade if you wanted more defense but right now, I can upgrade my Troll Leather to get the armour rating to be on the same level as bronze. Why would I waste resources to get bronze armour when I can just kill a couple trolls to upgrade my TLeather?
Is there something I'm missing, like do certain armour have special bonuses like how bronze could be more effective against slash while leather is effective against blunt, or is the armour rating the only thing that matters?

Nope, only special is the troll armor because

- No speed penalty
Max armor with troll is 33
Max armor padded is 100
+ Sneak buff

Ah, alright. That's a bummer. Enemies have their own weaknesses so I thought it would also apply to the armour you wear. Like in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, if you wear heavy armour, maces will wreck you while swords are just brushed off. Oh well :p

Max armor with troll is 33It was 33, but since it is now possible to upgrade troll armor to lvl 4 the max troll armor rating is now 40 (3x 12 + 4 from cape). This makes bronze and iron armor basically obsolete/waste of resources cuz troll armor isn't worse than those (...also due to sneaky + no movement penalty).

ohh you are right its 40
I would call iron not useless, its 64 (together with a troll cape)
Thats still a perceivable difference for a melee player

Other special armor pieces are Wolf Cape, Lox Cape and Wolf Chest Armor which provide resistance vs. Frost, which prevents Cold and Freezing statuses unless the player is Wet, and reduce damage taken from Frost attacks.
