I actually made an identical thread like this awhile back. But after a closer inspection of the battle and weapons, and with discussions from people in the wiki, it seems that RSV 123 pitted a High Middle Age Mongol Warrior against a Late Middle Age Knight. The Late Middle Age Knight has weapons and plate armor that were far different than the ones used by knights that the Mongols fought during their invasion of Europe.

The whole “knights were beaten by Mongol” statement is BS at best. There were times that the Mongols did defeat knights (Battle of Legnica, Battle of Mohi, etc) but there were also times where knights did defeat the Mongols (Battle of Weiner Niestadt, Battle of Blue Waters, etc). Classical-age Mongols might not fair well against plate-armored Late Middle Age knights.

And another quick. We don’t use a rock-paper-scissor analogy here in Deadliest Fiction. It doesn’t mean that the samurai defeated Mongols they would automatically own a knight. You have to know that the Japanese were lucky that the Mongol invaders were swept away by two typhoons, and there were many battles where the Mongols soundly defeated the samurais. In DF, as long as the two warriors never met each other on the battlefield, they can be pitted together in a battle.
