Lets see shall we

Close range: Sword beats knife 99% of the time. Edge Trajan

Mid range: Well the spear can be thrown but a sword can be used on horseback with greater ease and is longer. Edge Saladin

Long range: The scorpion is slow and not very mobile. The bow is faster and can be used on horseback. Edge Saladin

Special weapon: The war hammer is in my opinion more deadly as it is made of mostly metal where as most of teh axe is the wooden handle, which is easy to cut through unlike steel. Edge Saladin

Armour: Trajan has armour on his head and body where as saladin only has it on his head. Edge Trajan

Overall i narrowly give this to saladin. He has the better long range weapons and is more mobile on his horse. Trajan has the far better armour but he just can't keep up with the speed of the horses. Saladin wins 2,530 to Trajan's 2,470
