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.

you do get past him and take off, fast than him with your lack of any form of armor (you're running around in a Tunic and a small sword in your hand) and reach teh general and deliver the message, he watches you, and also towers over you on his horse and with his heavy and ornate armor. "I will send the message, go to that nearby hill." he points to a grassy yet tall hill where you see numerous troops, mostly archer, on, " And have them charge when they can"

I thank the General then run to the hill, I place the not archers at the front. Then I say when we charge the archers should first fire they're arrows, providing enough confusion for the swordsmen to attack. They should provide support rather than being the first line, when they run out of arrows that's the only time they attack.

the Celtic Shortswordsmen, whom i only used their native name
well you reach the top of the hill, and are a bit shocked to see them: shirtless and ponytailed blond hair, with only a medium sized embossed shield and a shortsword: they obviously aren't greek.
