The soldier is the paragon of physical prowess and discipline, learning to fight as a group and follow orders. They may not often be lauded as heroes, but they are the backbone of any conflict, taking important locations, holding back the enemy from a fortified position, or barraging the enemy with arrows or quarrels. A soldier can be skilled with almost any weapon, but almost always has a main weapon and a sidearm as opposed to other physical classes who generally prefer varied weapons. Soldiers can fit very specific roles, such as a Landsknecht who specializes in fighting pike formations, or a longbowman who specializes in taking out heavily armored targets, or they can be a standard hoplite holding the line, or a crossbowmen defending a castle.
