Сlose Range: Never been big fan of Xiphos. Scimitar has superior length and cutting ability. And steel always better than iron.

EDGE: Easterlings

Mid Range: Dori longer and I dare say that the Spartans their own spear better than istrelingi his halberd. But ... halberd more versitale and more easily to punching bronze and her curves are elementary get to unprotected areas. I have repeatedly said that the Halberd - it's a good answer against the spartan shield.

EDGE: Easterlings

Long range: Composite bow will always outmatch any javelins. Even though the Aspis shield, in combat archers arrows will always have a chance to get into an unprotected place, and so at least it will be a distraction Spartans. And javelin ... against the enemy in the armor of almost useless.

EDGE: Easterlings

Armor: I would prefer the Spartan shield, as a defense-offense weapon. But if we are talking about the armor - the Easterling more protected sites and the protection of STEEL.

EDGE: Easterlings

X-factors: I would not say so straight Easterling elite. Those original since they generally riders.In the Spartans in my opinion was the best training they could not afford themselves engaged in a nasty war. But there is a problem, Easterling deadly at all ranges and good as in the line and individually.

EDGE: Easterlings

Overall: Yes, we remember what Spartan defeated samurai. But here he is opposed even less skilled opponent, but not inferior to them in any of the key categories. In addition, the enemy there have as a shield, as a fast and powerful weapons for all distances.

Spartans: 33%

Easterlings: 67%

WINNER: Easterlings
