User blog comment:MilenHD/Persian Immortal vs Mongol Horsemen/@comment-5232784-20160610071403

When Ghengis Khan and King Xerxes went bowling...

1. Short Range

No contest: The Ild is half a foot longer than the Acinaces, weighs 2 lbs more, and has a steel blade, which will cut right through the iron blade of the Acinaces. The Ild is the more technologically advanced weapon, and it will bring both a power and reach advantage. In a sword fight, a Mongol would make quick work of a Persian Immortal.

EDGE: Mongol Horseman!

2. Mid range

The Glaive has superior melee range and a much larger blade. The blade is made of steel, which once again trumps the iron tip of the Immortal's spear. The Persian spear seems like it would be the better throwing weapon (the glaive seems more like a closer quarters weapon), but this isn't enough to counter the glaives advantages.

EDGE: Mongol Horseman!

3. Long range

Mongol bows were powerful enough to penetrate medieval Knight's armor. They can fire steel arrows, and are more technologically advanced than the Persian bow. The Persian bow doesn't stack up to the Mongol bow in terms of power and ammo quality, and the Persian archers weren't as skilled as Mongol Archers.

EDGE: Mongol Horseman!

4. Special

The Sagaris is longer than the mace, and can be utilitzed as an effective short range throwing weapon. The Mace is good at countering shields and armor, something it will do quite easily in this case, but the Sagaris seems to be more efficient in combat.

Edge: Persian Immortal!

5. X Factors

The Persian immortal has superior armor, but it wont hold up to the steel weapons of the Mongol. Meanwhile, the Mongol has superior metallurgy and archery. This alone is a 2 to 1 advantage in X-factors, but considering the poor job the Immortal's armor will do against the Mongol's steel weapons, the Mongol has an even stronger lead in X-factors.

Edge: Mongol Horseman!

The Mongol has superior short, mid and long range weaponry, better metallurgy, and superior archery. His horse will be able to turn faster and move with more agility than the Immortal's chariot (There is a reason why combat chariots were long gone by the time the Mongols arrived). The Mongol will swarm around the Persian Immortal and cover him with arrows shortly.
