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 998 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* Nargs - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 468 Views
I rest my case. Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:34:02 PM 871 Views

Agreed. Narg - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 852 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 505 Views
See? Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 840 Views
Possible, but hard. Gher - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 989 Views
scale or plate armor would be quite easy *NM* HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:38:47 PM 436 Views

Should be perfectly feasible TheUltimateReality - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 875 Views
Exactly HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 908 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 957 Views
Ummm, Warders... HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 799 Views
How would Cuendillar armour help against channelers? Fanatic-Templar - 14/02/2012 07:58:58 PM 891 Views
It can not be directly effected by the OP HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 761 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 769 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 876 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 756 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 745 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 583 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 864 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 807 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 812 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 926 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 759 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 771 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 799 Views
Not accurate darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 03:54:00 PM 876 Views
You are thinking too far inside the box HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:23:28 PM 842 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 810 Views
If armor is of no benefit... HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 714 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 820 Views
nope HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 740 Views

No way they could pull off what you are talking about with current tech darius_sedai - 16/02/2012 01:55:19 AM 806 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 769 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 773 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... LadyLorraine - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 943 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 778 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 758 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 811 Views
