Cesare Borgia:The arrogant and vicious son of Pope Alexander VI

VS

Gustavus Adolphus:The lion of the north and the greatest Swedish king.

Who..Is...Deadliest?!?

First,Cesare Borgia  was the son of Pope Alexander VI and a general of the Papal armies. Cesare was a nobleman and condiettro from Rome who is renowned for his fearful brutality and tactics. He established essential political relationships with the kingdom of France via his marriage to Charlotte d'Albrett. When the Pope gave Cesare his own state in the north of Italy, the citizens saw Cesare as a great improvement compared to their former rulers. In command of around 4,500 troops sent by the French and his own Italian mercenaries, Cesare was sent to capture the cities of Forli and Imola. Despite the loss of his French troops after these two sieges, Cesare returned to Rome with victory. During his campaigns in Romagna, Cesare added many more lands to his property and several more condiettro mercenaries under his employ. Cesare was later killed in an ambush in the year 1507 in Spain.

Cesare,fought to death with:

Now,Gustavus Adolphus, also known as Gustav Adolf II, was the king of Sweden from 1611 to 1632. Adolphus is best known for ushering in the era of the Swedish Empire and for his innovative military tactics that won him a number of battles in the Thirty Years War and the Polish-Swedish War, earning him the nicknames "The Lion of the North" and later, "The Father of Modern Warfare". Adolphus' innovations included effective used of combined arms tactics, cavalry attacking out from behind a solid pike and musket infantry line supported by light, mobile cannon. Soldiers were given at least basic training with all the weapons of the army- pikemen could aim and fire a musket effectively and musketeers could handle a pike. Cavalry and infantrymen were trained to man artillery, which allowed them to turn captured guns against the enemy. Even artillery crews and infantry were trained in fighting on horseback. With his well-trained army and innovative tactics, Adolphus won several major battles including Brietenfeld and Rain. Adolphus died when he was shot by an enemy musketeer at the Battle of Lutzen in 1632.

Mid:Edge Gustavus:Both are the same lenght and weight,but cutting always beat blundgeoning every day.

Long:Edge Gustavus:His musket might be heavier but atleast have faster reload time.

Special:Edge Cesare:Both have slow reload time,but the Wheelock pistol is innacurate ,while arbalest is safer and more accurate.
