Anon's "Tribal Warriors" Edges

Short Range Weapons: Leiomano vs. Maquahuitl

This is an easy win for the Eagle Warrior, even though these weapons both having the same intended purpose; leaving deep, tearing wounds, the Aztec sword-club is much longer, making it difficult for the Hawaiian to get close enough to attack. And it is also heavy, which means the Aztec will be able to inflict blunt-trauma as well as the aforementioned tearing wounds. This means that an Eagle with a Maquahuitl will be able to do more damage per swing than a Koa with a Leiomano. Factor in the Aztec's armour, helmet and shield and the Koa is totaly beat here.

Edge: Aztec Eagle Warrior

Mid-Range Weapons: Shark-Toothed Axe vs. Tepoztopilli Spear

This is close due to the Axe's raw power and the fact that it can be thrown, but again I am going to side with the Aztec, that extra five feet that the Tepoztopilli provides is probably going to make all the difference. Raw power isn't much good if your opponent can spear you before you can get to him, and the Aztec could probably just block a thrown axe with his Chimalli shield. Finally, if the Koa does throw his axe and dosen't kill or at least maim the Eagle Warrior then he has just thrown away his best weapon.

Edge: Aztec Eagle Warrior

Long Range Weapons: Ma'a Sling vs. Tlahuitolli Bow

A sling does have an incredibly long range and can kill if you hit the right spot, but that is a pretty big if, and even if you hit it is not guarenteed. A bow on the other hand can be fired with far greater precision and can be devastating against an unarmoured target; which is what the Koa happens to be. Also, the Aztecs used barbed arrows so removing one will be a very painful process for the Koa. Lastly, the fact that the Aztec is wearing a helmet and carrying a shield effectively renders the sling useless.

Edge: Aztec Eagle Warrior

Special Weapons: Pikoi vs. Aztec Axe

The Pikoi is an interesting weapon and its long reach could give the Aztec pause, but it dosent look very lethal so I can't give it the edge (even though I want to). An axe is an axe, not much else to say about it other than the fact that an obsidian blade makes it a lot sharper than your average axe, the downside being that it will dull quickly. Bottom line, the Pikoi isn't lethal, the axe is.

Edge: Aztec Eagle Warrior

Armour: Mahiole Helmet vs. Quilted cotton, helmet and Chimalli shield

Armour, helmet and shield vs. just a helmet...who do you think wins?!

Edge: Aztec Eagle Warrior

X Factors:

The Aztec does have a higher average than the Koa, but that is only due to the armour category which I have already talked about. The Koa has taken the edge in more X-Factors than his Mexican opponent, including Physicality and Killer Instinct. So, I am inclined to side with the Hawaiian Warrior on this one.

Edge: Koa Warrior

Overall Winner:

My preferred warrior wins by a country mile, he taken the edge in armour as well as ALL of the weapon categories. The Koa may be bigger, stronger and have some awesome martial arts but he has no armour besides his helmet and only two good weapons (The Leiomano and the Toothed Axe). The Aztec on the other hand is bringing FOUR good weapons and an awesome set of light armour. On top of that, the Aztec Eagle Warriors along with the Jaguar Warriors were the elite of an army that conquered much of Central America, so I would argue that he is at least as well trained as the Koa Warrior, they were also experienced as the life of an Aztec soldier was one of constant battle and in order to become an Eagle or Jaguar warrior a soldier had to have performed 20 great deeds in battle. I don't think much else needs to be said.

THE WINNER IS: THE AZTEC EAGLE WARRIOR!!!
