Not to mention stopping the 2 greatest medieval knight slayers; the spiked mace and Lucien Hammer (hammer that uses a nasty spike instead of a flat head).

Since nobody in Randland seems to use anything but bastard swords, Axes, knives, and rarely a hammer. A person in cuendillar plate would be able to virtually stroll around the battlefield with impunity. Especially since the material would be able to be shaped so thinly that intricate deflection angles, and effective force redirection (think of how a roof truss works) would become feasible.

Prperly structured you could virtually stand there and take a nap while someone pounded on you with a hammer, if you could stand the noise.

You posted this exact same question one year ago, with a lot of discussion Marshall - 10/02/2012 06:29:28 PM 1022 Views
You busted him! I wonder why he would post it again... *NM* Dark Knight - 10/02/2012 07:25:47 PM 538 Views

No, you go back and re-read what everyone said. LadyLorraine - 11/02/2012 11:02:47 PM 1040 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* Nargs - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 498 Views
I rest my case. Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:34:02 PM 927 Views

Agreed. Narg - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 894 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 536 Views
See? Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 898 Views
Possible, but hard. Gher - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 1039 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 1005 Views
Ummm, Warders... HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 852 Views
How would Cuendillar armour help against channelers? Fanatic-Templar - 14/02/2012 07:58:58 PM 926 Views
It can not be directly effected by the OP HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 832 Views
some simple ideas for defeating warders armoured such. LadyLorraine - 14/02/2012 09:52:41 PM 952 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 822 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 926 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 798 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 790 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 606 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 907 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 860 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 851 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 975 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 799 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 813 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 846 Views
Not accurate darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 03:54:00 PM 927 Views
You are thinking too far inside the box HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:23:28 PM 912 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 878 Views
If armor is of no benefit... HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 762 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 898 Views
nope HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 788 Views

Re: Maybe, maybe not Fanatic-Templar - 15/02/2012 06:11:42 PM 955 Views
I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 819 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 829 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... LadyLorraine - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 986 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 817 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 807 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 852 Views
