Tybaltcapulet's "Insert Apache Warcry" Edges:

Short Range: Both of these combos are intended for different purposes.The Axe and knives are designed to be thrown while also being able ti strike an opponent. The Khopesh and daggers are designed to compliment each other in close combat. I would say that the Apache's stone knives are virtually useless as they won't really do much to the Egyptian shield plys the leather bands they wear for armor. The Khopesh is also simply the better close range option, with more blade to use in general, and includes a blunt end to bludgeon enemies. The Tomahawk and throwing knives are great for throwing, but for the actual purpose of close range combat they are inferior.Edge:NW Egyptian Soldier

Medium Range: First off I would like to say this...fuck copper. Copper was replaced by Bronze for a damn reason you know. It's absolute trash as a material. That being said, even though it is shorter, I still give the edge to the Egyptian spear.It can do everything that its Native American counterpart can do but better due to its superior metallurgy, and i'd argue its shorter length makes it easier to handle in combat It's basically a direct upgrade from the Native American spear. Edge: NK Egyptian Soldier

Long Range: Hyskos bow wins. It has a longer range. Sure poison arrows are nice, but if they can't reach the range their enemy's arrows can, it doesn't matter Edge:NK Egyptian Soldier

Special: Yet again another edge for the Egyptians. Some may say the Apache's club is better because it is lighter. There are lots of weapons that are great when they are lighter. Swords,spears,daggers etc. Maces and clubs are not one of them. The more weight you can have on your mace/club without it being too heavy  the better, as it does more damage being a blunt weapon. I'd rather have a 2lb club hitting me than a 4 1/2lb club hitting me. Edge:NK Egyptian Soldier

Armor: The Egyptians actually have armor and a shield, the Apaches do not. Nuff said.NK Egyptian Soldier

Overall: The New Kingdom Egyptian Soldiers have this in the bag. Their weapons are overall the superior ones in function and metallurgy. They also have actual armor to block  many of the attacks thrown at them by the Apaches. It isn't amazing armor, but it is enough to take a good chunk of the force away from the blows of the Apache weaponry. This is also in Egyptian territory, which means the tactics that the Apaches usually adopt won't be nearly as useful. Add to the fact that the Egyptians are also quite experienced and well trained, they should take this rather easily

New Kingdom Egyptian Soldier: 3500
