<div class="IPBDescription">Fun NS like game</div> Well I just got done playing Savage for a few games. It was pretty fun. For those of you who dont know what it is, its a FPS/RTS like NS.

It was pretty cool.

After about my 3rd game it was funny to here things like

OMG F3! F3! F3!
OMG COMM U NOOB!
and my favorite
and OMG he build electricity first instead of magnitism we lose!

The buildings are real sized buildings not little single gadgets like in NS. A sentry turret is the size of a lighthouse for example. Thus everythingis bigger, and turrets shoot really far. Think NS_caged times 20 or so for the map size. Its all outdoors. You can go inside some of the buildings too.

In the demo u can do human vs, human which was neat.
It was cool to form a huge skirmish line with your team and open fire with bows and arrows into the crowd of unrushing enemies then as they get too close pull out your swords, axes, etc and rush in and get melee on their butts.
Later you get grenade launchers, shot guns, rail guns, and laser guns <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I like the Beasts high level creature called the Behemoth

The commander mode is cool and when you are in FPS mode u can tell when the comm is highlighing you to do things. The com can also pick out Officers to lead the troops on the ground.


All in all it was good fun. If you get bored try it out.

    I've heard good things about savage but I've been reluctant to try it. Sounds fun.

    I'll pbly end up with it at Xmas. I'v made it to level 10 one game but it was kinda short, but more or less I was owning everything with a Legi. Swinging that huge axe and killing anything that comes near is fun. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Well I played only for like 3 or 4 days before missing NS so much I just came back. I never commed, so I don't know if workers came back, but I enjoyed using marksman bow on a group of enemy workers <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    My main problem with this game is the inability to use the # keys to change weapon on an azerty keyboard. And no, it isn't editable in the options <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I have the demo.

    very fun.

    Kind of a laggy netcode, but very good for a newly released game. even NS had issues. but my only issue is that it's kind of hard to level up on a populated server.

    Thats meant to be, it wouldn't be very fair to have level 10 Legionnaires running around <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Becoming a legionairre bears no resemblance to your level. You buy your character upgrades so you can make a crapload of cash from attacking buildings without gaining much in the way of XP and buy yourself into Legionairehood, or your commander can sub you the gold if the team is well off.
    On one game which was very much stalemated I got to level 18 just by killing those little gerbil things but I still had next to no cash because they only drop about 5-10 gold for every 5th kill -_-

    monkits give the most exp out of the NPCs (in the demo at least) while being easier to kill than the ochsores.
  • ElderwyrmElderwyrm Join Date: 2003-04-07 Member: 15296Members
    Monkits, rawr. When ya get the full game Bearloths and Mudents will own you. Watch out for Kongor though. He freaking rapes. If you get attacked by a group run them into a field of Monkits and they will kill them all. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Savage is ok. Netcode needs revising, and I'd love some true diversity in tactics and weapons.

    -edit- And oh ya, to not say their the first to do something, being they AREN'T AT ALL.

    They are the first commercial attempt.

    Hehe,I love the little hedgehog creeps, they are so cute when you cut them with the Nomad axe.

    Still wrong. Allegiance/Battlezone/others beat them there.
