User blog comment:Wassboss/Riders on an Open Plain: Yesugei vs Crazy Horse/@comment-5795750-20160217091906

BG1's "Horsey! Horsey!" Edges:

Close: The Inyakapemni club may be the longer weapon but since it's made of a weaker material it's perhaps only good for one or two hits before it goes bust; the knife on the other hand is more lethal and sturdy

EDGE: Yesugei

Medium: Sword vs spear? It's obvious the sword wins out - it's got the longer piece of metal that packs a deadlier swing and stab; plus since this battle is going to involve horseback fighting, the spear (like the club) may be good for at least one kill or throw then its lost for good

EDGE: Yesugei

Long: With a much longer range and a pull weight makes for some pretty powerful arrow launches, the Mongol composite bow wins out here (the Mongols are the masters of archery what do you expect?)

EDGE: Yesugei

Special: Even here since the hunting hawk, as an animal, is harder to kill or get away from and it provides the Mongols with a means to attack via the air; but with a versatile melee weapon such as the tomahawk which the Native Americans were known to use really well both up close and as a ranged weapon, Crazy Horse certainly has something going for him

EDGE: Even

X-Factors: Average of 71.25 for Yesugei; Average of 65 for Crazy Horse

EDGE: Yesugei

Overall: Sweeping the weapons edges and dominating the X-Factors by a significant number, Yesugei takes this by a longshot - while Crazy Horse has the higher X-Factors of leadership and experience, the difference between it and Yesugei's rating are negligible; what really makes Yesugei win this over the Native American is that his weapons are better made since they are made of metal rather than bone/wood and he has armour that nullifies Crazy Horse's archery attacks; yes Crazy Horse battled opponents with guns and other tribes that possess the same level of archery, spearmanship and melee fighting skull but in the end, he is not well prepared to handle Yesugei's (and by extension the Mongol's) own archery prowess or swordsmanship.
