Facebook Aunt posted:Yeah, I think you're right. Even if they have some large targets like giants the trebuchet won't be able to aim finely enough to hit them Oh yeah what we've seen so far does look like white walker and also undeads are basically a one hit thing against dragon glass and Valyrian steel. Sam kills the guy with a knife hit, Jon kills another walker by hitting him in the belly with the tip of his sword, both times they instantly shattered into nothingness. So far same goes for undeads, one stab kills them immediately, probably even less, and they are about as inflammable as gasoline as we have seen the fire spreading immediately everywhere after having a flame mildly touching them. They are not hard to kill given the right tools. White walkers themselves seem to barely pose any special threat either, as one lost to Sam because he was dumb and just wanted the kid and the other guy was a swordsman but also quickly lost to Jon. They are basically comparable to regular living fighters so far, the main problem seems to be their numbers due to the undeads that basically fight like animals, often don't even use weapons and the walker's ability to resurrect dead people again, which happens remotely by having a guy raise his arms and even on great distance with no walker nearby, however the latter seems to require quite some time. Well also they one hit dragons with a spear, so apparently this one shot win thing seems to go in both direction if the target is magic.

Obsidian would be knapped. I suppose you could cast it if you could recreate volcanic conditions.

Could they just grind the dragonglass into powder and fart it at the incoming army?Goons Are Great posted:You know in case the zombies get their hands on trebuchets and launch themselves against the walls or whatever the gently caress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR48a1kLx0w They should do this but with zombies. Of course they won't because that would require them not to be a bunch of hacks.

Zane posted:well one pertinent footnote (73) is that "a history of mail armor in the medieval islamic world is still unwritten." technical capability says little about the proliferation of the technology in question. which the sources--from everything i've read here and elsewhere--aren't capable of readily demonstrating. and which will prevent any definitive resolution of the original question--'standard' 'eastern' vs. 'western' infantry equipment--at stake. e: but does make the unsullied armor seem within the realm of plausibility on the whole. The proliferation of iron armor and weapons, especially in Egypt and southern Syria was mostly constrained by availability of iron, rather than technology. Typically iron had to be imported. Though this more often meant that you saw continued use of bronze and copper and some other metals in places less related to specifically making weapons and armor (bands for helmets, metal scabbards, some mace heads, and so on would often be made of bronze or copper to conserve iron for instance). That said, within the military elite, metal armor, chainmail included was common enough, and co-existed (and was often worn together) with many other types of metal body armor such as scale and lamellar types, and later also types of plate armor (though in the middle east, plate armor pieces were more common for arm and leg protection than for torso protection). I have never heard of leather armor like that worn by the unsullied being common in the medieval Middle East. Leather lamellar corselets (though metal ones were very common also) were a thing, typically among Turkish warriors (and often worn over or under chain mail armor when it appeared), though infantry and lighter armored troops were much more likely to have armor made from padded cloth (as was also the case in Europe).

Eh this guy managed to do it sort of: https://youtu.be/CA3lIuN_zVE tl;dr getting it to a workable temperature isn't an issue it's the fact that it's not a practical material to work with because it's basically glass if glass was an rear end in a top hat.

I saw one of those blacksmith youtube channels where a dude managed to melt some down and pour it into a mold but the result was unusable of course. Anyway you can see the flaking patterns on the dragonstone weapons on the show, I wonder how they made those props

Randarkman posted:No, not really. At least in the Middle Ages, Middle Eastern soldiers were equipped with metal and padded cloth armor in various combinations the same as soldiers in Europe. And the Middle Eastern climate, discounting the desert and the Arabian peninsula isn't really that much different from what you get anywhere else in the Mediterranean. And generally people avoided doing anything in the desert if they could. boiled leather

Your testosterone isn't all made in the balls. You ever see a post-menopausal woman with a fine moustache hauling around logs and pigs and poo poo? Plenty of T, never had balls.
