I vote for the Saracen: It has been proven that Lamalar if a better armor than chain mail As a good spear can go strait through it and lamalar takes way more of a beating from stabbing, slashing and crushing weapons. This was proven in deadliest warrior with Hannibal vs Genghis Khan. Lamalar works great against stabbing and slashing weapons. Chain mail is only good against slashing weapons. That is it. For the weapons, The Saif and the Hairus are both slashing weapons, so I have no clue what to pick. The rest of the weapons and tactics go to the Saracens.
