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.

I go around in circles so I can easily dodge when they attack.

I try to feint a strike at one of them and slice the shoulder of the other one, then I jump back quickly to avoid attacks. I then pull a javelin out and lob it at them. (Hehehe "special"

You feingt and slash... And I goes right through him?
Also instituting a 7 second aim time on javelin (5 with a shield) since they have a gurenteed casualty if they hit the body and a gurenteed breaking of a shield

You... Go straight through him? You charge straight through that "enemy" and almost trip, wearily catching yourself. You notice the two lines retreating as they go behind the heavier line troops

They open their phalanx up to let you pass through, you take your place being the peltasts, by that time you have a splitting headache, the trumpets let out a short note, the phalanx closes up, they form a shield wall and point their Doru spears outward, then stop. Everything becomes deathly silent, only they sounds of armor clattering and clanking around. But slowly a constant sound starts to rise, you see down a hill a phalanx of Pikemen (note, I'm really only focusing on your section of the line, there is a whole long line with cavalry on the left wing and heavy phalanx hoplites on the other) chanting as they move up the hill, the phalanx tightens up slightly, when the section commander yells , "Prepare to throw javelins and spears!" the phalanx opens the shoe wall to allow themselves to throw

After ten seconds you get a good (relative to your condition) aim
"Fire a will!"
Everyone (includes you) releases they javelins, and light missile cavalry rides up to support, lobbing javelins.
Macedonian levy Phalanxman POV: He moves forward chanting, short deliberate steps, With a thin Linthorax, small metal round shield, Thracian helmet, an Sarissa. He feels confident, able to take the Greeks and their phalanx. But after your fire command, he sees a rain of death, in the form of dozens of spears and javelins, "Take cover!" he screams as he drops his pike and kneels with his shield over his head, the rain of spears and javelins hit, he hears the thunk of them hitting shields. He feels safe, until a javelin Spears his leg, he falls back down hill screaming in pain, he looks up as the shower of death continues and closes his eyes, and sees paradise in his imagination as he is finished.

You do know you are at the very back of the line, and that the Sarissa is 16 feet long
