User blog comment:The Deadliest Warrior/Scythian Infantry vs. Thracian Peltast/@comment-3239346-20110509143009

Well, everyone says bow beats a javelin, but think abou this -

The Thracian Peltast is famous just for his use of the javelin! He's a pro; an expert; a javelin-whiz; call him what you want but I bet he can carry many of those things on him and I can guarantee you his training and experience will have him be quite accurate - over 80% of the time. The same argument can be made for the Scythian and his bow, but remember, the Scythians aren't famous for their archers.

Based on that, and that alone, I think the Thracian can actually win because their javelin was what catapaulted them into military history. Never underestimate history. THRACIANS FTW!
