WanderingSkull's GraveDigging Tunes "Tribal Vengeance" 

Short: The Makraka has superior slashing techniques due to its design, but it ultimately loses out to the longsword. First off as the name implies the sword is long and has greater length compared to the Makraka. The Longsword offers the options of slashing or stabbing during the heat of combat. EDGE: Celt

Spears: Both weapons have the same purpose and exact method of attacking. The Lancea is longer and allows the user to gain first hit and combined with the ability to act as ranged weapon gives it another funcution. The Makrigga is devastating upon entry and can deal serious damge with one thrust. Still the superior range and ability to funcution as a back-up ranged weapons defeats the thrusting attacks of the Makrigga. EDGE: Celt

Ranged: The Sling is one of the worse ranged weapons that any warrior can have avaliable to them. Sure, it has the advantage of making rocks into weapons, but it is much less accurate and not as lethal when compared to the bow. The Botto & Pima is generally more accurate and has much more power behind the shot. EDGE: Zande
