Tybaltcapulet's "THIS IS SPARTA" Edges:

Primary: The dory is great for your average phalanx where you have a bunch of your comrades assisting you.This is not that situation, this is a 5v5 quick skirmish, where you don't have time to slowly approach your opponent with a wall of spears. What's even worse is that Leonidas's greatest asset, the Aspis, is also his downfall here, where he is forced to use one arm at a time to attempt to stab Genghis and his Mongols. The Saber while much shorter, will be much easier to wield, is faster to swing, and is made of bettter materials. Also even though Genghis also has a shield,his sword is much more suited to a one handed form of combat. '''Edge: KHANNN! KHANNN!'''

Secondary: This is actually tough one as the Xiphos is shorter, but is much lighter and quick to pull out and use. But the Flanged Mace has the ability to crush Leonidas's bones and his armor and is longer to boot. Ultimately, I give it to the Mace simply due to the fact that I don't believe that the Xiphos will be able to do that much damage to the Mongol armor, while the Mace, even being a blunt weapon, most certainly will.'''Edge: KHANNN! KHANNN!'''

Ranged: Is this even a contest? Throwing a freaking spear at someone is nowhere as effective as using a bow, a Mongol bow at that, wielded by very skilled archers. The Javelin is outclassed in accuracy, power and range, and as a "ranged" weapon, will suffer immensely in this engagement.'''Edge: KHANNN! KHANNN!'''

Armor: Finally Leonidas's saving grace, his armor. To be fair Genghis' is just as good in my opinion and I'll be giving this an even rating. The Spartan armor essentially makes them walking tanks, covered mostly head to toe in Bronze and having an execellent shield, but sacrificing mobility. The Mongol armor including the shield, allows much more mobile movement, at the expense of overall coverage. They both suit their purposes quite well, and as a result makes this even to me.Edge: Even

X-factors/Overall: Easy win for '''Genghis Khan. '''Not only are his weapons simply better, due to hundreds of years of improved technology, Khan is also the better warrior. He's the better tactician, more experienced, and is just as good of a leader as Leonidas, being able to utterly dominate the Eastern world for many years.Leonidas is more reliant on his Phalanx and tank-like armor, and once that is stripped from him or superseded, he will be utterly crushed

Genghis Khan: 4500

King Leonidas: 500
