When in doubt, check the wiki. The iron shield's defense is slightly better.

It's also 2/3 the weight. That's why several of my characters prefer the tortoiseshell shield to the iron one.

Really?! Chitin Shields are quite common for some of my characters. At least since scarabs became much easier to kill some time ago. Wooden shields though are still wonderous items for them. :wink:

Yup. I've got a character in a warrior town where almost everybody uses chitin shields.

The charries in the chinese zone use chitin shields.

Edit:
Now that I've checked wiki... the iron shield doesn't really seem to be worth making compared to the chitin shield. For the amount of work to make iron and then the 4 days to make a shield... doesn't the iron shield seem a bit skimpy compared tot he chitin?

Um, 3 points more blocking? After the shield has been finished, production time stops mattering.

Yep, iron shields are really good but chitin shields rule too, we use it alot in a Portuguese island... Makes me think, how about a steel shield? :)

I think they said they won't make that in fear of to much inbalance
When you hope for something, you often believe in something. When you believe in something, you often have pride in it. Being proud often leads to a hating of some group.

I know, it would be ridicolous... Even with a crossbow you'd only hurt about 15% or something...

Then why did you think of it? Maybe, it could be some super ultimate shield, that requires 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 grams of steel and blocks everything.

no, that's even more ridicolous.... How about just 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999998?

edit: and maybe it could have a weakness, like.... it couldn't block boomerang attacks
