User blog comment:Deathblade 100/Empire Builders or Destroyers? Praetorian Guard vs Persian Immortals/@comment-112.198.64.40-20150330134304

I'm going with the Persian Immortal. He's got the better sword, axe and spear. Although the Praetorian carries the better armor and shield, the Immortal's bow and chariot combo would kill his enemy easily. The Praetorian has nothing to counter the chariot, with small numbers, his pilum and scorpion aren't fast enough or accurate enough to hit a fast moving chariot. And with that bow, the Persian can just harass from a far while riding the chariot and retreat just as quick, or maybe just encircle the Praetorian's and butcher them.

There's no need for weapon edges, it's just common sense. There is no way for the Praetorian to counter the chariot.
