Tybaltcapulet's " Let's get down to busi- Whoops wrong horseback people" Edges:

Close Range: Straight to the Mongolian Knife for one reason. The Scalping Knife is iron, and the Mongolian Knife is steel. Better metallurgy makes the weapon of better quality in general. Edge: Mongol

Mid Range: Both weapons are great against each other in my opinion. The War Lance provides the Comanche with the armor penetration he desperately needs. The Turko-Mongol will be execellent on horseback, providing the momentum to easily slice straight through the Comanche. But the War Lance's is advantage, it's larger size, is also it's downfall. Being 8 ft long will make it pretty slow in comparison with the faster movements of the sabre. Edge: Mongol

Long Range: This is quite even to me as both serve different purposes. The Mongol Bow was intended for a higher power, longer range, role, but suffers from a lower rate of due to heavier draw strength. The Self bow is better at firing faster, but is overall more weak, and  has a shorter range. Edge: Even

Special: The War Hawk is literally a wooden stick with a blade on it. Yes it can be thrown, but against the Mongol's armor, it won't be all that effective. The mace however, while heavier, will provide the Mongol with powerful blunt force trauma damage that a unarmored opponent like the Comanche can't take'''. Edge: Mongol'''

Armor: I know I have been referencing the Mongol's armor and it's superiority, but it isn't nearly as dominant as one might first think. The shield will give the Comanche the ability to deflect arrows while on horseback, which will be of great help in the beginning of the battle. But once you get off horseback, it becomes much less useful overall. If the shield gets knocked off, or if the Mongols bypass it somehow, the Comanche is screwed. The lamellar/iron armor is of better quality, will be useful throughout the battle, and includes a helmet, covering much more of the Mongol than the shield.Edge: Mongol

Mount: As this is an open plain, both horses will be quite effective here where there is plenty of space. For weight, the Mongolian horse is lighter at about 600lbs and the Native American horse is heavier at about 750-1000lbs. Most likely the Comanche's horse is faster and more agile and less stocky than the Mongolian counterpart (but this is negated by the Mongolian horse's light loads). In endurance, the Mongolian horse is virtually untouchable being able to survive with almost no water or food for many miles. But overall I would have to give the edge here to the Comanche, because the horse is faster, and in endurance, will be just as serviceable in this small skirmish.Edge: Comanche

X-factors: Both warriors here have their strengths and this makes them quite equal warriors. In Training, the Mongols easily take the edge, with them being such a strict military unit, giving them the clear discipline and tactical edge. In overall Experience, they also win quite easily, going against a much higher variety of enemies consistently, while the Comanche is more used to fighting other native tribes. But the Comanche is definitely the winner in Situational Experience, almost entirely fighting in the way this simulation describes. Not that the Mongols weren't used to it, but they were an army on army group. Both are expert archers, being trained extensively in both land and horseback archery for basically their entire lives. Physically, the Comanche ekes out slightly with their larger build and height. Brutality doesn't really matter here, but the Mongols win here as they as the author has stated slaughter entire army just to make a point. I would actually give an even rating here as even though the Mongols are more experienced in general, the Comanches are more suited for the situation and are more physically able. Edge: Even

Overall:  '''While the Comanche have the better mount, and have more experience in this type of battle, the Mongol should win easily still. This really comes down to the fact that the Comanche's weapons simply can't stand up to the Mongol's, being made of materials of lower quality and being ineffective against the Mongol's armor. With their bows being quite even, the other weapons are critical. The scalping knife is longer yes(if only just), but is made of iron, which is less reliable and strong than the Mongol's steel. The Turko-Mongol sabre is quicker to use on horseback than the slower War Lance. Furthermore, the Lance will be nowhere near as useful on the ground, making it ineffective in general. And while usually blade>club/mace, A) the War Hawk's blade is quite small and B) the mace is again made of superior material ( the blade of the War Hawk is just attached to a wooden handle). And not to give credit entirely to the weapons, the Mongols are the more disciplined, trained, and experienced warriors and I think this shows that DF dropped the ball pretty hard here.'''
