Mail is obviously out of the question... Gher Send a noteboard - 15/01/2010 12:54:32 AM
how many links in just a chainmail shirt? 1000-1500? Takes what a minute for each link? Could take as long as 30-hours for each shirt, just in conversion to cuendillar time! Most channelers become exhausted after only about an hour or so of continual Channeling ... so we're talking as much as a 10-day week of a channeler doing little else to produce 1 mail shirt? Doesn't seem like a good allocation of time when that same Channeler could be out in the field helping move the army or Healing the wounded etc...

And what if they screw up even a little? scrap heap.


And plate armor is usually out of the question, just not quite so obviously. But foil thin shields? The only hang-up is the time it would take an AS to make a man-sized hunk of cuendillar, if they take days and weeks to make a goblet. But if Asha'man could get involved, it's possible. Maybe not feasible for the whole Westland armies, but definitely for some bodyguards for Rand or certain key generals or specialized forces (perhaps the Legion of the Dragon, combine the crossbow crank with shieldman in the front lines.

Cuendillar and Perpetual Gateways Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 03:32:15 PM 1584 Views
I'm still not sure if cuendillar would be "destroyed" or "remain" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 03:55:00 PM 769 Views
well I think you've discovered something even more important darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 05:00:11 PM 806 Views
I love it... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:23:59 PM 677 Views
exactly! *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:50:19 PM 329 Views
Quick question ... Yondaime - 15/01/2010 01:34:21 AM 784 Views
No - cuendillar just gets stronger the more powerful a force you use against it RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/01/2010 07:55:34 PM 690 Views

Cuendillar shields Gher - 14/01/2010 04:57:45 PM 769 Views
Wasn't the consensus... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:04:50 PM 784 Views
Really? Gher - 14/01/2010 05:30:40 PM 685 Views
Re: Really? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:52:45 PM 650 Views
Alright. Gher - 14/01/2010 06:25:27 PM 633 Views
Even so... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:30:35 PM 715 Views
Not sure, but the discussion might be saved somewhere (maybe in my e-mail somehow) RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 07:12:42 PM 827 Views
Lack of Creativity / Flame Nargs - 14/01/2010 07:31:32 PM 753 Views

let's do some quick math to see how feasible this is... darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 12:16:02 AM 588 Views
Again, Lack of Creativity Nargs - 15/01/2010 12:54:01 AM 631 Views
right cause they are full of new ideas in WoT! darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 12:57:52 AM 599 Views
Huh? Are you saying that... Nargs - 15/01/2010 01:49:23 AM 631 Views
It's not just a matter of creativity Gher - 15/01/2010 03:42:38 AM 713 Views
Are you trying to be funny? Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:22:18 AM 684 Views
I think what people are saying to you (at least what I am saying) darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:58:31 PM 795 Views
What I am telling you all (at least telling you) Nargs - 15/01/2010 08:12:32 PM 591 Views
I disagree with part of that darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:17:30 PM 984 Views
The vast majority of WoT folk aren't particularly innovative darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:02:52 PM 606 Views
Pretty much. I think their religion is not doing anything helpful with the Power. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/01/2010 09:13:49 PM 579 Views
Mail is obviously out of the question... Gher - 15/01/2010 12:54:32 AM 694 Views
realistically the timeframes involved to make even the shields darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 01:03:30 AM 722 Views
Kind of disagree. Gher - 15/01/2010 01:37:42 AM 649 Views
We agree... maybe? Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:27:32 AM 672 Views
both darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:00:26 PM 581 Views
Please explain Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:29:29 AM 663 Views
not saying mail... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:33:06 PM 608 Views
hey look! someone with creativity! Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:30:29 AM 732 Views
Cuendillar dragons are great... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:45:12 PM 661 Views
Create a ter'angreal that can open gateways wherever it is pointed and triggered. Gher - 14/01/2010 04:59:28 PM 633 Views
Maybe this was one of the violent games played for sport during The Collapse *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:14:05 PM 292 Views
Without a doubt *NM* Gher - 14/01/2010 05:26:42 PM 295 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 828 Views
Thanks; I thought this was the case but couldnt recall the sections. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 07:13:32 PM 592 Views
True... I forgot... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:18:25 PM 690 Views
Tied-off weaves dont last forever Nargs - 14/01/2010 07:39:53 PM 632 Views
No... Shannow - 14/01/2010 07:48:38 PM 702 Views
Correct. Q&A answer below regarding this. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:08:02 PM 704 Views

Refrigerators and aqueducts and more... Air Conditioning! Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:49:12 PM 711 Views
Is a gateway fixed in place? Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:55:20 PM 693 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 285 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 285 Views
But RJ said that cuendillar could not pass into a gateway, didn't he? Lord Haart - 23/01/2010 11:53:35 AM 577 Views
I'm not exactly sure what you mean... Gher - 24/01/2010 09:47:20 PM 655 Views
