Even a very large goblet is still going to be smaller than a breastplate or such for armor ... No matter how thin. And we have no clue how much cuendillar would weigh. Even if it is incredibly light it will still hinder mobility compared to leather etc as it does not have flexibility. No matter how you look at it armor reduces mobility, and that can be fatal in a melee ... As others have pointed out there are still gaps in even the best armor and realistically no armor will protect against channelers. Maybe a nice ceremonial suit of armor for the King or the Amyrlins Warder would be cool, no matter how you spin it the advantages just aren't really there.

If you want "out of the box" and you are going to use cuendillar as a defense I would think it would be smarter to coat a cities walls with it or something along those lines ... Having literally unbreakable walls or gates would be far more beneficial than a few suits of armor that may or may not give a handful of warriors an advantage against a Trolloc.

Functional Cuendillar Armor: Possible or impossible? - 10/02/2012 04:45:34 PM 1477 Views
You posted this exact same question one year ago, with a lot of discussion - 10/02/2012 06:29:28 PM 942 Views
You busted him! I wonder why he would post it again... *NM* - 10/02/2012 07:25:47 PM 497 Views
I suppose I am on a... - 10/02/2012 11:00:47 PM 842 Views
No, you go back and re-read what everyone said. - 11/02/2012 11:02:47 PM 942 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 455 Views
I rest my case. - 10/05/2012 04:34:02 PM 834 Views

Agreed. - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 825 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 493 Views
See? - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 807 Views
Possible, but hard. - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 948 Views
scale or plate armor would be quite easy *NM* - 11/02/2012 01:38:47 PM 422 Views
My thought was always about weapons. - 11/02/2012 06:31:45 AM 1003 Views

Should be perfectly feasible - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 841 Views
Exactly - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 878 Views
Certainly possible, but given the effort most women have to put toward changing even a small item - 12/02/2012 05:10:35 AM 927 Views
Ummm, Warders... - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 770 Views
How would Cuendillar armour help against channelers? - 14/02/2012 07:58:58 PM 845 Views
It can not be directly effected by the OP - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 733 Views
some simple ideas for defeating warders armoured such. - 14/02/2012 09:52:41 PM 869 Views

which way is it? - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 736 Views
Actually I'd call the Seanchan tactically inferior to the White Tower in using the power - 15/02/2012 01:48:55 PM 849 Views
That's really not my point. - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 730 Views
My point is - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 716 Views
Agree on all points *NM* - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 569 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 834 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 780 Views
Not nesecarrily - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 782 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 891 Views
..and you are creating new tactics - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 723 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 742 Views
Not accurate - 15/02/2012 03:54:00 PM 844 Views
You are thinking too far inside the box - 15/02/2012 04:23:28 PM 817 Views
I disagree - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 778 Views
If armor is of no benefit... - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 685 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 792 Views
nope - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 706 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 738 Views
Fair enough. - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 737 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 909 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 723 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 710 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 777 Views
Two things: *NM* - 16/02/2012 04:03:52 PM 460 Views
