Really? Gher Send a noteboard - 14/01/2010 05:30:40 PM
That given the weight of cuendillar relative to the size, it would take extreme strength to manage such a shield and the impediment to movement would be too much of a liability on a battlefield regardless of who (ie: blacksmith-strong human or Ogier) was trying to lug it around.


I don't remember anything about Cuendillar being really heavy, and if it is the case, have them attached to wheels, and rolled out to the front lines and then positioned there. Nobody has to hold them, but Archers could line up behind them, step out and shoot, and they'd protect against most minor Power attacks (fireballs and whatnot) pretty well.

Or they could just make a cuendillar armored steam-powered Tank. That'd be cool too.

But I vaguely thought Cuendillar was lighter than the original iron. I wish we still had the Wotmania Reference desk, that'd be handy right now. Unless someone has some Cuendillar quotes handy.

Cuendillar and Perpetual Gateways Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 03:32:15 PM 1706 Views
I'm still not sure if cuendillar would be "destroyed" or "remain" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 03:55:00 PM 898 Views
well I think you've discovered something even more important darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 05:00:11 PM 922 Views
I love it... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:23:59 PM 798 Views
exactly! *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:50:19 PM 385 Views
Quick question ... Yondaime - 15/01/2010 01:34:21 AM 889 Views
No - cuendillar just gets stronger the more powerful a force you use against it RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/01/2010 07:55:34 PM 811 Views

Re: Really? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:52:45 PM 749 Views
Alright. Gher - 14/01/2010 06:25:27 PM 750 Views
Even so... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:30:35 PM 838 Views
Not sure, but the discussion might be saved somewhere (maybe in my e-mail somehow) RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 07:12:42 PM 958 Views

let's do some quick math to see how feasible this is... darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 12:16:02 AM 713 Views
Again, Lack of Creativity Nargs - 15/01/2010 12:54:01 AM 741 Views
right cause they are full of new ideas in WoT! darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 12:57:52 AM 704 Views
Huh? Are you saying that... Nargs - 15/01/2010 01:49:23 AM 757 Views
It's not just a matter of creativity Gher - 15/01/2010 03:42:38 AM 822 Views
Are you trying to be funny? Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:22:18 AM 798 Views
I think what people are saying to you (at least what I am saying) darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:58:31 PM 896 Views
What I am telling you all (at least telling you) Nargs - 15/01/2010 08:12:32 PM 699 Views
I disagree with part of that darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:17:30 PM 1234 Views
The vast majority of WoT folk aren't particularly innovative darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:02:52 PM 719 Views
Pretty much. I think their religion is not doing anything helpful with the Power. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/01/2010 09:13:49 PM 686 Views
Mail is obviously out of the question... Gher - 15/01/2010 12:54:32 AM 796 Views
realistically the timeframes involved to make even the shields darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 01:03:30 AM 879 Views
Kind of disagree. Gher - 15/01/2010 01:37:42 AM 768 Views
We agree... maybe? Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:27:32 AM 784 Views
both darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:00:26 PM 700 Views
Please explain Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:29:29 AM 769 Views
not saying mail... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:33:06 PM 771 Views
hey look! someone with creativity! Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:30:29 AM 870 Views

Create a ter'angreal that can open gateways wherever it is pointed and triggered. Gher - 14/01/2010 04:59:28 PM 742 Views
Maybe this was one of the violent games played for sport during The Collapse *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:14:05 PM 344 Views
Without a doubt *NM* Gher - 14/01/2010 05:26:42 PM 343 Views
Or they could just tie the gateway weave off, like Sammael did in CoS, and Rand did in KoD... Shannow - 14/01/2010 07:11:56 PM 930 Views
Thanks; I thought this was the case but couldnt recall the sections. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 07:13:32 PM 709 Views
True... I forgot... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:18:25 PM 813 Views
Tied-off weaves dont last forever Nargs - 14/01/2010 07:39:53 PM 745 Views
No... Shannow - 14/01/2010 07:48:38 PM 809 Views

Is a gateway fixed in place? Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:55:20 PM 803 Views
Why would this mean that the gateway weave doesn't need to be maintained? *NM* Lord Haart - 17/01/2010 03:22:58 PM 332 Views
Because even if it wasn't tied off, it'd get stuck around the cuendillar doorway, unable to close. *NM* Gher - 22/01/2010 09:07:34 PM 331 Views
But RJ said that cuendillar could not pass into a gateway, didn't he? Lord Haart - 23/01/2010 11:53:35 AM 674 Views
I'm not exactly sure what you mean... Gher - 24/01/2010 09:47:20 PM 758 Views
