Even a very large goblet is still going to be smaller than a breastplate or such for armor ... No matter how thin. And we have no clue how much cuendillar would weigh. Even if it is incredibly light it will still hinder mobility compared to leather etc as it does not have flexibility. No matter how you look at it armor reduces mobility, and that can be fatal in a melee ... As others have pointed out there are still gaps in even the best armor and realistically no armor will protect against channelers. Maybe a nice ceremonial suit of armor for the King or the Amyrlins Warder would be cool, no matter how you spin it the advantages just aren't really there.

If you want "out of the box" and you are going to use cuendillar as a defense I would think it would be smarter to coat a cities walls with it or something along those lines ... Having literally unbreakable walls or gates would be far more beneficial than a few suits of armor that may or may not give a handful of warriors an advantage against a Trolloc.

Functional Cuendillar Armor: Possible or impossible? - 10/02/2012 04:45:34 PM 1506 Views
You posted this exact same question one year ago, with a lot of discussion - 10/02/2012 06:29:28 PM 970 Views
You busted him! I wonder why he would post it again... *NM* - 10/02/2012 07:25:47 PM 508 Views
I suppose I am on a... - 10/02/2012 11:00:47 PM 895 Views
No, you go back and re-read what everyone said. - 11/02/2012 11:02:47 PM 994 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 467 Views
I rest my case. - 10/05/2012 04:34:02 PM 868 Views

Agreed. - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 850 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 504 Views
See? - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 837 Views
Possible, but hard. - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 987 Views
scale or plate armor would be quite easy *NM* - 11/02/2012 01:38:47 PM 435 Views
My thought was always about weapons. - 11/02/2012 06:31:45 AM 1095 Views

Should be perfectly feasible - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 873 Views
Exactly - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 906 Views
Certainly possible, but given the effort most women have to put toward changing even a small item - 12/02/2012 05:10:35 AM 955 Views
Ummm, Warders... - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 796 Views
How would Cuendillar armour help against channelers? - 14/02/2012 07:58:58 PM 887 Views
It can not be directly effected by the OP - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 759 Views
some simple ideas for defeating warders armoured such. - 14/02/2012 09:52:41 PM 897 Views

which way is it? - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 767 Views
Actually I'd call the Seanchan tactically inferior to the White Tower in using the power - 15/02/2012 01:48:55 PM 876 Views
That's really not my point. - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 756 Views
My point is - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 744 Views
Agree on all points *NM* - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 582 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 862 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 805 Views
Not nesecarrily - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 812 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 923 Views
..and you are creating new tactics - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 756 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 769 Views
Not accurate - 15/02/2012 03:54:00 PM 874 Views
You are thinking too far inside the box - 15/02/2012 04:23:28 PM 840 Views
I disagree - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 808 Views
If armor is of no benefit... - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 713 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 817 Views
nope - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 737 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 767 Views
Fair enough. - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 770 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 941 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 776 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 756 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 808 Views
Two things: *NM* - 16/02/2012 04:03:52 PM 473 Views
