You posted this exact same question one year ago, with a lot of discussion Marshall Send a noteboard - 10/02/2012 06:29:28 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 1016 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* Nargs - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 480 Views

Agreed. Narg - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 871 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 520 Views
See? Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 867 Views
Possible, but hard. Gher - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 1014 Views

Should be perfectly feasible TheUltimateReality - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 896 Views
Exactly HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 926 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 974 Views
Ummm, Warders... HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 822 Views
How would Cuendillar armour help against channelers? Fanatic-Templar - 14/02/2012 07:58:58 PM 908 Views
It can not be directly effected by the OP HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 793 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 790 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 898 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 775 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 764 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 594 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 883 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 833 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 830 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 944 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 777 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 789 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 817 Views
Not accurate darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 03:54:00 PM 893 Views
You are thinking too far inside the box HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:23:28 PM 872 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 842 Views
If armor is of no benefit... HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 736 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 851 Views
nope HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 761 Views

Re: Maybe, maybe not Fanatic-Templar - 15/02/2012 06:11:42 PM 928 Views
I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 789 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 794 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... LadyLorraine - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 961 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 798 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 780 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 827 Views
