Let's see shall we

Close Range 

I'd first like to point out that the "Ild" is not an actual weapon it was in fact just the name for a generic sword in Mongolian and the sword in the picture is not one standard to a Mongol Swordsman. Either way though the "Ild" still wins out because of it's longer length, better metallurgy and more importantly is better designed for mounted combat as a slashing and hacking weapon. The Acinaces is just an oversized dagger and one made for thrusting at that and let me tell you trying to stab someone on a moving platform is not easy especially with a short blade.

Edge: Mongol Horseman

Mid Range 

I don't know why a Mongol Horseman would be carrying a Glaive considering that they would have primarily used a lance and the Glaive itself is an infantry weapon. This automatically puts it at a disadvantage compared to the Spear which can be thrown and is easier to handle.

Long Range

No contest the Mongol Bow wins. It has the better armour piercing arrow heads and the accuracy and power the Mongol's could get behind their shots was enough to get through Steel Plate Armour so Bronze will be no problem. Some may argue that the lack of armour is a hinderence to the Mongol but Mongols often wore a silk cloth under their standard armour which gave further protection specifically against arrows. A Mongol with a Bow is deadly a Mongol with a Bow on horseback is unstoppable.

Special 

A Mongol Horseman wouldn't have a Mace unless they were too poor to be able to afford anything else but it's only a minor thing so I'll let it slide. The Mace is much too heavy to be used on horseback and while the blunt force trauma it provides will make short work of the Immortal I doubt the Mongol will be able to hit him. The Sagaris is much lighter and using it on a chariot is much easier than trying to use a mace on a horse. Not to mention the bladed edge makes it much more lethal and it has the reach advantage anyway.

X Factors

The Persian Immortal has an average of 78.25 whereas the Mongol Horseman has an average of 84.

Final Verdict 

Despite all the inaccuracies in terms of weaponry I still have to give the edge to the Mongol Horseman. His weapons are more advanced by about 1,000 years and will easily get through the Immortal's armour which nullifies the it's greater coverage of the Immortal's body. A horse is much more manoeuvrable than a chariot and the Mongol can easily run circles around his Persian opponent providing he doesn't just shoot and kill the chariot driver to leave the Immortal immobile, forcing him to either try and control the Chariot himself (which will greatly reduce his ability to fight on it) or just abandon it (in which case he's infantry going against the greatest horseback fighter of all time). The Mongols have experiance fighting and defeating empires and warriors from around the former Persian Empire except that they at least had comparable weapons and armour metallurgically.

Mongol Horseman: 4,500

Persian Immortal: 500
