God Of Godzilla's "Once a tribal warrior, now a raider and a ruler" Edges

Short Range-Mongols.The seax and the Mongal dagger appear the same so they are a non factor, the Mongal saber on the other hand has a curve which gives it more slashing power than the Saxon long sword.

Medium Range-Mongals. The boar spear was originally a hunting spear which meant it is short and heavy, the glaive on the other hand is longer and can do both thrusting and slashing attacks, also note the boar spear is designed to stop a charging boar, not a charging horse that is heavier and faster than boars meaning the Saxon behind the spear can get knocked down.

Long Range-Mongals. While the composite crossbow is designed for a high rate of fire it still pales in comparison to the recurve bows, also when as soon as a Saxon crossbowmen fires he will have to crouch down to reload which makes him open to a Mongal bowman.

Special-Saxons. Possibly the only edge that the Mongals don't get, while the mace is a decent weapon, the dane axe has more reach and its lighter weight makes it easier to swing than a mace.

Armor-Mongols. Yet again its speed vs strength and I am inclined to say speed wins this one, while the chainmail is strong the armor is still vulnerable to thrusting and blunt attacks, the multi layered lamellar armor still provides protection against slashing, piercing, hacking and blunt attacks but not as much as chainmail, the Saxons leather armor is not as strong as the Mongols who also has faster than a Saxon.

Winner-Mongols. While Saxons are deadly warriors, the Mongols are even deadlier with more advanced weaponary and a higher level of mobility, not to mention the Mongols have there trumpcard, the Mongol horsemen who can shoot the Saxons while avoiding any kinds of danger with great accuracy, the Saxons have nothing to compete with the Mongol calvary.
