User blog comment:Leolab/User Siege Tourney, Round 5 of 91: Utter Noob (Celina) v Redkite (Markus)/@comment-4552610-20130326164753

=Undead RVD's "Galactic Curve-Stomp" Edges:=

General vs General
Melee: The Gladius and Steel Short Sword function almost identically. I say even.
 * EDGE: Even

Polearm: The Pilum has range as it can be thrown but use it once and the shank will be used up. The Pike is going to take more of a beating and will allow for more powerful hits.
 * EDGE: Markus

Range: The Composite Bow (A bow made from metal and wood is basically a composite bow) will be faster and easier to use than the titan of a crossbow that is the Arcuballista.
 * EDGE: Markus

Off-Hand: Both have a type of Tower Shield but the Scutum is made of layered wood while the Titan Shield Markus carries has multiple layers of both wood and metal, making it even harder to break through.
 * EDGE: Markus

Armor: Both are wearing Steel Plate Armor.
 * EDGE: Even

Overall: Easy win for Markus. He is far more intelligent and far more sound-minded. He also packs the superior range weapon, polearm and shield.

Army vs Army
Swordsman vs Infantry: This isn't too bad. Celina's men are packing steel armor and Scutum shield. Markus is the same. I say even.
 * EDGE: Even

Cavalry vs Pikemen: I feel the Pikemen will do more damage. They may lack in numbers but Pakemen have a knack for taking down cavalry. They should be able to keep their stance.
 * EDGE: Markus

Crossbowman vs Archers: The Archers take this edge. Their weapons will be faster and have more men. They will be able to fire out more arrows. They also have the advantage of being on the walls so they are even harder to hit.
 * EDGE: Markus

Nothing vs Trebechets: Well, Marcus has a powerful catapult to launch boulders at his enemies. Celina... has nothing.
 * EDGE: Markus

Overall: Markus has the high end. His men are better armed and have trebechets to launcher stuff at their enemies. Celina doesn't even have the proper siege engines to get into the castle. Add in the major amount of loyalty Markus' men have for him and the tiny amount Celina's men have and Markus' army should take the win.

Overall
This should be an easy win for Markus. He is the better leader, has the better weapons (Doesn't matter, though, since Celina is a puss) and has the far superior army. He will tear Celina's men apart. I see at the end Celina's men being her demise.
