WanderingSkull's GraveDigging Tunes "The Truth Of The Heart" 

Swords: This is going to be an very close match between the two blades right off the bat. Sure the longsword is well longer, but it mainly requires the usage of two hands making it not the most comfortable weapon when weliding a shield. Plus the Kopis has an advantage of being lighter and having a design that allows it to get past shields greater. EDGE: Alexander The Great

Polearm: The Billhook gets this despite being shorter it's a more effective weapon for combat. The Sarissa is longer so that means it can reach it's target first, but it's better used in formation which they could still make but just not big enough. The Billhook is also lighter and it will destroy the wooden body of the Sarissa with ease. EDGE: Richard The Lionheart

Long: Going for the Composite Bow on this one for a few reasons here. The Crossbow may have greater penetration power behind it which will help out in this match, but lacks speed. The Bow will be able to fire off more shots at a quicker rate making up for it's weaker penetration. EDGE: Alexander The Great

Tactics: Alexander really shines here in once again proving why his tactics are so legendary in warfare. Alexander proves his abilities as a master of tactics during the Battle Of Guagmela and showed his ability to formulate impressive stratefies despite overwhelming odds. Richard may have shown his abilities to defeat his opponents, but at the cost of it being a pyrhic victory. EDGE: Alexander The Great

Armor: Steel is much more durable than the more primitive bronze in this here match. Sure steel armor is probably more heavy, but it makes for the amount of protection it gives Richard and his men. Alexander's armor may not be destroyed by a blow by the longsword or billhook, but it will leave internal damage. EDGE: Richard The Lionheart

Deadliest Warrior: Richard The Lionheart- Man this is Julius vs. Oda all over again, the warrior I really wanted to win is outmatched by his opponent. You think based upon by edges I'd be giving Alexander the win as he wins in just about everything except polearms and armor. That's where the problem lies in Alexander's chance of victory his inferior armor. Richard's armor will allow him and his men to keep fighting before it becomes damaged longer than Alexander. His weapons are also made of a greater material that further pushes him towards his enemy.
