Mail is obviously out of the question... Gher Send a noteboard - 15/01/2010 12:54:32 AM
how many links in just a chainmail shirt? 1000-1500? Takes what a minute for each link? Could take as long as 30-hours for each shirt, just in conversion to cuendillar time! Most channelers become exhausted after only about an hour or so of continual Channeling ... so we're talking as much as a 10-day week of a channeler doing little else to produce 1 mail shirt? Doesn't seem like a good allocation of time when that same Channeler could be out in the field helping move the army or Healing the wounded etc...

And what if they screw up even a little? scrap heap.


And plate armor is usually out of the question, just not quite so obviously. But foil thin shields? The only hang-up is the time it would take an AS to make a man-sized hunk of cuendillar, if they take days and weeks to make a goblet. But if Asha'man could get involved, it's possible. Maybe not feasible for the whole Westland armies, but definitely for some bodyguards for Rand or certain key generals or specialized forces (perhaps the Legion of the Dragon, combine the crossbow crank with shieldman in the front lines.

Cuendillar and Perpetual Gateways Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 03:32:15 PM 1522 Views
I'm still not sure if cuendillar would be "destroyed" or "remain" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 03:55:00 PM 709 Views
well I think you've discovered something even more important darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 05:00:11 PM 737 Views
I love it... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:23:59 PM 611 Views
exactly! *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:50:19 PM 310 Views
Quick question ... Yondaime - 15/01/2010 01:34:21 AM 721 Views
No - cuendillar just gets stronger the more powerful a force you use against it RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/01/2010 07:55:34 PM 620 Views

Cuendillar shields Gher - 14/01/2010 04:57:45 PM 707 Views
Wasn't the consensus... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:04:50 PM 715 Views
Really? Gher - 14/01/2010 05:30:40 PM 623 Views
Re: Really? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:52:45 PM 592 Views
Alright. Gher - 14/01/2010 06:25:27 PM 552 Views
Even so... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:30:35 PM 654 Views
Not sure, but the discussion might be saved somewhere (maybe in my e-mail somehow) RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 07:12:42 PM 766 Views
Lack of Creativity / Flame Nargs - 14/01/2010 07:31:32 PM 682 Views

let's do some quick math to see how feasible this is... darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 12:16:02 AM 529 Views
Again, Lack of Creativity Nargs - 15/01/2010 12:54:01 AM 568 Views
right cause they are full of new ideas in WoT! darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 12:57:52 AM 538 Views
Huh? Are you saying that... Nargs - 15/01/2010 01:49:23 AM 562 Views
It's not just a matter of creativity Gher - 15/01/2010 03:42:38 AM 649 Views
Are you trying to be funny? Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:22:18 AM 617 Views
I think what people are saying to you (at least what I am saying) darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:58:31 PM 720 Views
What I am telling you all (at least telling you) Nargs - 15/01/2010 08:12:32 PM 522 Views
I disagree with part of that darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:17:30 PM 851 Views
The vast majority of WoT folk aren't particularly innovative darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:02:52 PM 538 Views
Pretty much. I think their religion is not doing anything helpful with the Power. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/01/2010 09:13:49 PM 516 Views
Mail is obviously out of the question... Gher - 15/01/2010 12:54:32 AM 636 Views
realistically the timeframes involved to make even the shields darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 01:03:30 AM 624 Views
Kind of disagree. Gher - 15/01/2010 01:37:42 AM 589 Views
We agree... maybe? Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:27:32 AM 600 Views
both darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:00:26 PM 513 Views
Please explain Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:29:29 AM 609 Views
not saying mail... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:33:06 PM 541 Views
hey look! someone with creativity! Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:30:29 AM 665 Views
Cuendillar dragons are great... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:45:12 PM 606 Views
Create a ter'angreal that can open gateways wherever it is pointed and triggered. Gher - 14/01/2010 04:59:28 PM 568 Views
Maybe this was one of the violent games played for sport during The Collapse *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:14:05 PM 266 Views
Without a doubt *NM* Gher - 14/01/2010 05:26:42 PM 272 Views
Or they could just tie the gateway weave off, like Sammael did in CoS, and Rand did in KoD... Shannow - 14/01/2010 07:11:56 PM 762 Views
Thanks; I thought this was the case but couldnt recall the sections. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 07:13:32 PM 532 Views
True... I forgot... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:18:25 PM 624 Views
Tied-off weaves dont last forever Nargs - 14/01/2010 07:39:53 PM 571 Views
No... Shannow - 14/01/2010 07:48:38 PM 633 Views
Correct. Q&A answer below regarding this. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:08:02 PM 637 Views

Refrigerators and aqueducts and more... Air Conditioning! Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:49:12 PM 645 Views
Is a gateway fixed in place? Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:55:20 PM 625 Views
Why would this mean that the gateway weave doesn't need to be maintained? *NM* Lord Haart - 17/01/2010 03:22:58 PM 263 Views
Because even if it wasn't tied off, it'd get stuck around the cuendillar doorway, unable to close. *NM* Gher - 22/01/2010 09:07:34 PM 261 Views
But RJ said that cuendillar could not pass into a gateway, didn't he? Lord Haart - 23/01/2010 11:53:35 AM 516 Views
I'm not exactly sure what you mean... Gher - 24/01/2010 09:47:20 PM 589 Views
