Elgb's "Damn these Girls Know To Kick Ass" EDGES!!!

Primary: Each weapon have their own set of specialty and advantages that can factor with each warrior's fighting style. Being a Mongolian, Khutulan favored the turko-mongol saber because it was designed to be used on horseback, though it is not as effective on foot. The Kampilan on the other hand was designed as an infantry weapon to be used together with the shield, making it a superb close-quarters weapons but not a cavalry weapon. So it's a tie for me. EDGE: Even

Secondary: It's funny how you give Urduja a Moro dagger even though she lived in Luzon, not in Mindanao. Still, the Gunong has that wavy and longer blade that can deal more damage than the simple Mongol dagger. EDGE: Urduja

Polearms: This is a tough one, but I'll have to give the edge to the sibat. The jida lance is a formidable lance, but it's jsut that, a lance. It was designed to be used by cavalry, and a 12-foot long spear would be cumbersome when used on foot. The sibat can be used on foot, and it's defferent set of blade tips gives it an edge in lethality. EDGE: Urduja

Special: This is a tough one for me, though why give Urduja a kalasag if she could have used a pana? Then again, Urduja's shield offers better protection and conjuction with her other weapons while Khutulan needs to use both ahnds to use a bow. But a Mongol bow has a 300 feet long range and that's a lot of time for Khutulan to use her archery skill to snipe Urduja from a far, but that's if those arrows can get through the shield. It may penetrate, but still this comparison can go either way. EDGE: Even

Henchemen: The Mongolian warrior easily. They've conquered more territory than what Urduja and her men can do. Besides, Urduja's "henchman" is just an actor named Aljur Abrenica. He's a goodlooking beefcake but probably won't help her that much in a battle XD

Deadliest Warrior?

I think it's better off to write my x-factors edges here in the conclusion than a separate section because they're the ones who gives Urduja the victory over Khutulan. Both warrior princesses have an equal arsenal of weapons, but in terms of experience and intelligence, Urduja alrgely takes this. Sure, the Mongols did made the largest Empire on the planet, but Khutulan cooperated squat on that empire. She may have fought her own share of battles, but it was Urduja who was leading men on the front. But what really gives Urduja the win here is that she already beat the Mongolians many times already. Legends said that she attacked and kept hostage Yuan dynasty merchant and warships, and they couldn't do anything about it. She fought the Yuan Chinese, with her vast army taht rivalled them, and won. So there's no question that Urduja may just be able to defeat Khutulan easily.

Choice of Battefield: The Seashore because it's far more accurate representation of how the two will battle. Urduja and the Yuans have fought each other on the same place already. So a more plausible scenario will be Khutulan landing on the Islands with her men, and Urduja will be there to intercept her.

P.S. Also, why give Urduja a horse? If I'm not mistaken, horses were pretty rare in Luzon (except in Mindanao where theyw ere abudnant due to trade with Malaysia and Borneo), and it was the Spanish who introduced horses in the country; both the Chinese and the Covello breeds. And if there were horses, Pre-Spanish accounts of the country mentioned nothing about Nothern Filipinos having cavalry. But then I could be wrong.
