You will have two options: Either you can join as part of a Kingdom's Army or as a mixed group.
Kingdom vs. Kingdom mode:
You get to choose between five kingdoms (Assyrian, Israelite, Nubian, Roman and Persian.) after this you choose your class and you along with other players fight against an army of another Kingdom.
Mixed group mode:
In this mode you'll be able to choose any class you want (including Kingdom-special classes) After this, when both armies are assembled, the two groups will fight each other on a randomly selected map.*
*: A feature that may be added is a one to two minute planning time where all members of an army can create and discuss a battle plan to try to ensure success.

Character Anatomy
This game (if completed) will have a decent anatomy system: This means that if you hit someone in the head with an arrow they won't just lose health--they will die from the injury, like in real life. Here is what happens when certain areas of the characters body are hit by either a stone, arrow, spear or sword:
The head: An blow to the head will always be fatal.
The upper chest: It is very likely to be fatal, but only losing health is also possible.
The stomach: It is likely to be fatal, but often the player will be able to survive.
The arms: If an arm is badly injured all weapons will become unusual-able: the injured player will have to run for their lives or scout until they die.
The legs: If a leg is damaged the player will lose 50% speed until death.
Enough of the above injuries will leave the player in a state of dying, which will last thirty seconds. After dying the player is removed from the game.
As you can see, just one hit can end a players life and they don't get to return to the same battle like they do in other games. My ambition for this game is to give the player a real experience of what an ancient battle was like.
