why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy Send a noteboard - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 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 1164 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* Nargs - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 560 Views

Should be perfectly feasible TheUltimateReality - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 1083 Views
Exactly HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 1084 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 1169 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 951 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 1067 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 959 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 930 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 661 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 1036 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 1011 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 997 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 1101 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 977 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 933 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 987 Views

If armor is of no benefit... HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 926 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 1062 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 961 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 956 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... LadyLorraine - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 1114 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 979 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 935 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 1065 Views
