The film to watch here is The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Not for gun-fu, but for the idea of a Mythic West. The director said that the story only seems to take place in the American West, it's really a mythic struggle involving the scions of the Gods; the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, of the title.

...a mountainous region where various subalpine city-states have cropped up, like some sort of cross between Shogunate Japan and ancient Greece...

Deadliest Warrior did a rematch between the winners of the first season boats, and put the Samurai up against the Hopolite. The Greeks won!

...grassy plains, and a nomadic culture with a common religion, combining Sioux and Bedouin concepts...

...the mind veritably reels!

Deadliest Warrior did a Comanche Verus Mongol fight. Comananches win! I don't think the Attila/Alexander fight was very predictive. Seige weapons verus combat weapons favors combat weapons heavily in their simulations.
