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 960 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* Nargs - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 461 Views
I rest my case. Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:34:02 PM 851 Views

Agreed. Narg - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 836 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 500 Views
See? Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 820 Views
Possible, but hard. Gher - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 965 Views
scale or plate armor would be quite easy *NM* HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:38:47 PM 431 Views

Should be perfectly feasible TheUltimateReality - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 859 Views
Exactly HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 891 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 939 Views
Ummm, Warders... HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 784 Views
How would Cuendillar armour help against channelers? Fanatic-Templar - 14/02/2012 07:58:58 PM 866 Views
It can not be directly effected by the OP HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 746 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 753 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 862 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 741 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 730 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 576 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 847 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 792 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 799 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 907 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 742 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 760 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 780 Views
Not accurate darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 03:54:00 PM 859 Views
You are thinking too far inside the box HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:23:28 PM 831 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 794 Views
If armor is of no benefit... HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 699 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 807 Views
nope HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 719 Views

No way they could pull off what you are talking about with current tech darius_sedai - 16/02/2012 01:55:19 AM 782 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 752 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 753 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... LadyLorraine - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 923 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 740 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 731 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 791 Views
