You busted him! I wonder why he would post it again... *NM* Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 10/02/2012 07:25:47 PM
But I'll recap the general jist of what was said:

-Cuendillar is presumably completely inflexible, therefore we'd need to make it similar to chain-mail, i.e. links, to make small pieces that are flexible with respect to each other.

-This appears difficult, because the individual cuendillar pieces could not be touching when merged together (although I'm sure they could simply interleave flows of Air and it wouldn't be all that hard).

-The armor might not provide that much protection to hard hits, but it would definitely help protect against punctures.

No, you go back and re-read what everyone said. LadyLorraine - 11/02/2012 11:02:47 PM 946 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* Nargs - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 456 Views
I rest my case. Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:34:02 PM 836 Views

Agreed. Narg - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 829 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 494 Views
See? Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 811 Views
Possible, but hard. Gher - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 951 Views
scale or plate armor would be quite easy *NM* HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:38:47 PM 424 Views

Should be perfectly feasible TheUltimateReality - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 845 Views
Exactly HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 882 Views
Certainly possible, but given the effort most women have to put toward changing even a small item darius_sedai - 12/02/2012 05:10:35 AM 928 Views
Ummm, Warders... HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 774 Views
How would Cuendillar armour help against channelers? Fanatic-Templar - 14/02/2012 07:58:58 PM 848 Views
It can not be directly effected by the OP HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 735 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 737 Views
Actually I'd call the Seanchan tactically inferior to the White Tower in using the power HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:48:55 PM 853 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 734 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 722 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 571 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 839 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 785 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 786 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 895 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 728 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 747 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 769 Views
Not accurate darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 03:54:00 PM 847 Views
You are thinking too far inside the box HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:23:28 PM 820 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 779 Views
If armor is of no benefit... HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 690 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 796 Views
nope HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 710 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 743 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 739 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... LadyLorraine - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 912 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 726 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 716 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 779 Views
