Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM
Only a handful benefit from them and more power to them if they choose to use armor, but given the lack of more than a slightly better set of armor the energy IMO would be better spent elsewhere.

Realistically cuendillar armor won't give much advantage over regular steel unless weapons are also being made of cuendillar (also a better use of resource IMO). Cuendillar armor won't keep you alive from an OP attack, won't help you against a canon shot and won't prevent a better warrior from chopping your head off. It's not like it's some "magic" armor ... It's just made from a superior material, advantage yes, but is it going to make a world of difference on a mass scale ... Very doubtful. Armor is armor.

If they are going to mass produce things from cuendillar there are more effective ways to put the resource to use. With canons in place city walls are far more vulnerable than in the past. With cuendillar walls canons are useless in a siege ... Not that Traveling doesn't make walls irrelevant, but then using cuendillar for any of these purposes seems silly since it's also impossible to adapt something once it's made.

Functional Cuendillar Armor: Possible or impossible? - 10/02/2012 04:45:34 PM 1401 Views
You posted this exact same question one year ago, with a lot of discussion - 10/02/2012 06:29:28 PM 851 Views
You busted him! I wonder why he would post it again... *NM* - 10/02/2012 07:25:47 PM 454 Views
I suppose I am on a... - 10/02/2012 11:00:47 PM 755 Views
No, you go back and re-read what everyone said. - 11/02/2012 11:02:47 PM 853 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 416 Views
I rest my case. - 10/05/2012 04:34:02 PM 750 Views

Agreed. - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 741 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 455 Views
See? - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 726 Views
Possible, but hard. - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 848 Views
scale or plate armor would be quite easy *NM* - 11/02/2012 01:38:47 PM 385 Views
My thought was always about weapons. - 11/02/2012 06:31:45 AM 918 Views

Should be perfectly feasible - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 754 Views
Exactly - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 799 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 838 Views
Ummm, Warders... - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 683 Views
How would Cuendillar armour help against channelers? - 14/02/2012 07:58:58 PM 751 Views
It can not be directly effected by the OP - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 653 Views
some simple ideas for defeating warders armoured such. - 14/02/2012 09:52:41 PM 791 Views

which way is it? - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 650 Views
Actually I'd call the Seanchan tactically inferior to the White Tower in using the power - 15/02/2012 01:48:55 PM 766 Views
That's really not my point. - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 643 Views
My point is - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 636 Views
Agree on all points *NM* - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 531 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 744 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 678 Views
Not nesecarrily - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 692 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 796 Views
..and you are creating new tactics - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 637 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 655 Views
Not accurate - 15/02/2012 03:54:00 PM 749 Views
You are thinking too far inside the box - 15/02/2012 04:23:28 PM 732 Views
I disagree - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 696 Views
If armor is of no benefit... - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 600 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 652 Views
Fair enough. - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 648 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 814 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 642 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 626 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 690 Views
Two things: *NM* - 16/02/2012 04:03:52 PM 421 Views
