Remember that Teddy's long range weapon was deemed to be better than Lawrence's and got the edge. In several episodes, gaining the long range edge as well as the mid range one often nets the warrior the win. If you can kill your opponent more effectively at a distance before he can engage you close up, then you would have dwindled away more of his numbers before he can do the same to you, leaving him with less chances to have a close combat fight where you could get tired out more easily. It is for that reason you would rack up more kills in long range.



Neither mid-range weapon got an egde, as both were deemed to be near even. In season 1 and 2 episodes, even though two weapons were determined to be even against each other, one typically scored more kills than the other anyway. This is season 3's example of that.



Getting the short range edge and not the mid range and/or long range ones usually isn't a good thing for a warrior. It shows that you are more effective in a close combat fight, but your opponent is better at picking off your men from a distance than you are. You're left with less men that you can use to advance on your opponent and engage him in close combat with, so even if you're a better close combat fighter, he has more men he can use to oppose you, and that's an advantage on his side. Warriors who get the short range edge but not a mid range and/or a long range one often lose. This happened to Lawrence.



There are also more than 100 X-factors plugged into the sim, even though they only show you 3 or 4 per episode, so those X-factors are going to have numerical values as well. We don't know what they are, so Roosevelt could have had an advantage there as well, but we didn't see it because it wasn't shown on television. Hope these answers helped you gain an insight into how the show works and provided a satisfactory response.How the heck did Teddy Roosevelt beat Lawrence of Arabia? [Deadliest Warrior]?
"El Awrence" could have won and it was a close contest- roosevelt was a pugilist molst of his life and also spent a lot of time doing asian stick fighting / fencing

Lawrence was a oxford(college of jesus) man and he spent considerable time tooling around the uk on his brough superior.

both were dedicated to the idea of excelance of the person.

but i think teddy had it in the "grit" and mental department- lawrence was suspected of being a "little odd" by his peers if you ever read his biography.

I also think teddy had it in the hand-to hand dept, being a pugilist.

I also think that if you have ever faced down a charging elephant you have to have BIG BRASS ones which Roosevelt proved time and again.



Just like the ghurka vs french foregin legion very close but both losers had a fatal flaw.

in the case of the frenchies, thier infantry weap was a pos. the bar was good, better than the brenHow the heck did Teddy Roosevelt beat Lawrence of Arabia? [Deadliest Warrior]?
