119's Clash of the Hemispheres Edges


 * Short Range: The Shark Tooth club deals both blunt and slashing damage, as opposed to just blunt damage, and the marlin-bill dagger on the other hand of the handle could make a useful stabbing weapons, making it even more useful. Edge: Maori


 * Mid-Range: The Taiha is a fearsome melee weapon, however, it is outranged by the harpoon, which and be thrown and then retrieve with a cord, and has the power to punch through wooden armor and bring down large animals. Edge: Inuit


 * Long Range: This isn't even a contest- the Cable-backed bow has a longer range, greater stopping power, and packs a far greater punch, allowing the Inuit raiders to pick off the Maori from a distance. Edge: Inuit


 * Special: The snow knife is sharp enough to carve ice, but it is not a purpose-built weapon like the mere. Edge: Maori


 * X-Factors: The Maori are a more warlike culture, and thus score higher for experience and are a bit more brutal with the whole cannibal thing, but the Inuit have their own advantages. The Inuit, on the other hand are tougher thanks to their harsh environment, and also have the advantage of armor, unlike the Maori. The Inuit raiders would also use raiding tactics, which involve hitting fast, before the enemy can respond, as opposed to the pre-European contact Maori, who often engaged in ritualized combat, sometimes issuing challenges for personal combat. Slight Edge: Inuit for their armor and toughness.


 * Overall Winner: It will be hard-fought battle, but in the end, the Inuit will win this fight thanks to their leather and walrus-ivory armor, as well as their superior tactics and long-range weaponry that fit perfectly with their raiding tactics.
