This will take place during the ancient times (During Rome's reign pre-marian) where you play a soldier who has just volunteered with little money for equipment in the great armies of the ancient Civilizations.
During the timeline men in armies had to supply for their own equipment to join the army, so unless you came from a rich family you started off with little equipment, and with money gained from fighting, they purchased better and better equipment.
Prime Example: (one of) the lowest units in Roman armies were the Velites, men had no armor other than a Parma (round shield) and had a few javelins with a sword. Then the next up was the Hastati, with Lorica Segmenta (Chainmail), a Scutum (iconic Roman shield), Galea (Helmet) and a Gladius. Then to the Principes, and then the Triarii
But you get to play a soldier from any army, just pick a class of soldier (If you need help, just tell me what type of soldier you want, and i will give suggestions. But remember, you're a basic class.) and fight your way up through the ranks. Please remember when making a character, not all soldiers were 6 foot, over muscled meat heads. Just because you're tall doesn't make that a good thing, and not every soldier was in perfect physical condition.

in the time between running and catching the horse? with no stirrup, only a saddle, and how to fight as well.
he looks at you, slightly disappointed, but shakes it off, "Good, tell the Strategos that our line is starting to falter, and to send the Bagaudas! they must reach our lines within the hour, or the center will fall!" he points you towards the Samnitici Milites (allied), up through the cloud of loose dirt you see enemy Hoplitai

I nod and run towards the Samnitici Milites, I then shout out "I search for Strategos, we seek aid and need of Bagaudas!"

one of the rear men shouts back "Over past our line, hurry!"
as you near their line you are confronted by a Dreaded Hoplitai, he raises his spear above his shield and yells at you slowly moving forward

he stabs, but you can't really get past him, since he isn't a blundering levyman who wants to go home. He watches your moves intently, with his shield with a large eye decoration over his torso

... It goes right through his shield, in anger he lobs I at you, but it misses and clatters harmlessly on the ground, he then pulls his xiphos and approached you

I charge at him feinting a strike to the left then aiming a stronger attack, at his right.
