with a one on one fight i'd have to go with vikings. but if it's a group effort then, well, there's a reason why rome lasted a 1000 years…

but seriously, vikings… they are the ninja pirates of the sea and deserve respect.

Viking not as much armour but 5 times more aggresive.
My vote is the viking and my god have mercy on the soul of the roman knight.

I'm obligated to vote for the Viking for very obvious reason.

I'm related to this man.

And with that vote, the Vikings now have double the vote power than the Romans do, It's going to take lots of fans to pull this one off for the Romans, what do you think Ludwig?
Ludwig: Well, they kick ass, get drunk, then kick ass even more. I'd say the Vikings!
And you Alfonso?
Alfonso: These votes have no reason, in an actual conflict, the brutal training and discipline and tactics of the Legionary would best the Vikings charge and bash. To put it simply, the Roman Legionaries were trained for this type of match-up, obviously my vote is on the Roman.
And now that we are done listening to the quarreling brothers, lets get back to the votes!

Warning! Only 3 more days left to vote! If you want the Roman to win, better vote now! And if you want the Viking to win, better give him a vote to help support him more! And even if the Romans get higher votes, don't make the same mistake the communists made at the world hockey thing. Vote as soon as you can, lets end this vote with a bang! And if the Roman wins, it really will end with a bang, due to a weapon he had.

Looks like the vikings have this one all wrapped up.

And the winner is…the Viking! The viking has won! Alright, time for all of you to brag and moan, while I think up another match. Thanks for watching, and be sure to vote for the next Forum Fighters!

And also, I can be persuaded by requests for fighters.

And here is some disscusion on the fight from our favorite commentators, Ludwig (The adrenaline and fight guy) and Alfonso (Books and strategy guy)! Lets hear about the fighters!
Ludwig: I think It's pretty obvious who would win, even without knowledge of the next fighter. Unless we bring guns into this, the Spartan dominates all! After all, one spartan took down an entire Covenant Legion!
Alfonso: Uh, Ludwig? That's a different Spartan..
Ludwig: Oh, right, anyways, spartan all the way! I don't care about your guys frikin strategy, the Spartans not only kicked ass, but they were also smart with the kicking of said opponents! You should be rooting Spartan also, since they used awesome strategy too!
Alfonso: Not so sure, this fighter was excellent in strategy, one of the most brilliant wars ever. Plus, with their planning and attacks, they were the most feared of their time! Your Spartan better watch himself!
Ludwig: Aw shut it, Spartan, 300 against like a thousand, remember that!
And back to the audience!

Pfft you people.
I mean, Roman Legionaries left a mark! There is in fact a city called Rome. Since when is there a city called Vikinopolis? Never, I tell you! NEVER.

Nobody is going to vote for the other opponent if the choices you're going to give us is a Spartan and "who knows", especially if the votes are supposed to be about who we think is more likely to win in that scenario. You need to give us something physical to look at. Therefore I propose that the challenger is called the mystery box.



The mystery box has the special powers of being unknown. You have absolutely no idea what you're going to get. That poor Spartan could be looking at having to deal with the Lone Wanderer, Chuck Norris or Godzilla for all we know. It could be an innocent little bunny which turns out to be the dreaded Rabbit of Caerbannog, whose fluffiness belies its murderous intent. Perhaps the Spartan will luck out and be challenged by an Persian Immortal. The box may contain nothing… or everything. Maybe it's something we couldn't believe. Something we can't even imagine.
The point is that we don't know. So the question which beckons to be asked is not what's in the box but rather who do you think will win, The Spartan or the Mystery box?

I say the mystery box is more likely to win. The Spartan will surely be unable to handle the uncertainty of the contents of the box. It has dowed many people in the past, unlucky enough to find themselves in game shows and it can certainly do it again.

The mystery box may win because it has the power to give blue shells to anyone who runs over it.

Alas I'm not voting because not knowing who one of them is sort of ruins the point.

Well thanks for being so patient guys. My laptop broke later, I was planning to say the fighter a little while after the Spartan was announced, but a laptop having died, I could not do that. I am using my dad's computer at the moment, contest starts as soon as I announce our mystery warrior, and then it ends a week from then!
And the mystery challenger is…..



The Mongol Warrior! Votes begin on my next post.

Well its a hard decission for me. I don't really know the logistics between horse back vs foot. I'm not sure if Spartans have ever really faced horse back opponents. I'm pretty sure a spear or pike is the best weapon a foot soldier could use agianst someone on horse. Spartans have a spear but I'm not sure how long their spear is. I need to do research before I make up my mind. Or a person should come on here and explain it more to me.

Ah ha, another choice that Rome: Total War can dictate for me. But first I must know, are we talking one-on-one battle or like a legion of mongolians vs. a legion of spartans? In my opinion the results are different.

These matches are one-on-one unless stated other wise.

Well in that case I'm votin' for the Mongol! If the Spartans had a phalanx formation set up the Mongols wouldn't stand a chance. But one-on-one I reckon the Mongol has the upper hand because of his horse and superior armour.

Their spears were pretty long and they mastered the Phalanx formation which is this:



It was a pretty devastating form of defensive/offensive tactic which was largely responsible for the success that Alexander the Great had during his times of conquest and was the tactic that the Spartans used against Xerxes when he attempted to invade Europe (They would never have broken formation like they did in 300). It had one obvious flaw which were the poorly defended flanks along with a very slow turning rate which meant that fast moving opponents could easily attack them from the sides. With sufficient numbers though, such problems could easily be circumvented by arranging the army in a way so that the flanks were better protected.

In a case of 1 vs 1 fight, we can largely ignore this fact since you need a fairly sizable team to pull it off. However, Spartans specialized with spears and were masters with it. In addition to that, the Spartan would be far more mobile now that he's free from that formation. In a full battle gear, I would say that the Spartan has the advantage in this one. Since he's not relying on the Phalanx maneuver the Spartan would be using a shorter spear then the one in the above picture to take advantage of the improved mobility. None the less, the reach that the spear provides would the perfect tool against a mounted opponent.

…And that goes to say that my vote is for the Spartan.

Hey guys, since Zeph is only human…I think…he can't make art for every single episode of Forum Fighters, so I'm asking you, the fans, to draw your fanart for Forum Fighters when he can't! Let's allow Zeph to rest, even just drawing one of the contestants works, fighting of them both would be better though. So come on, For Forum Fighters!

I'm going to have to go with the Mongolian on this one for one reason. They were masters of the Bow and Arrow and could shoot at full speed from the back of a horse. If I'm wrong correct me, but I believe that most Mongolian troops were trained in this art and had to be very adept at it. So Mongolian!
