<div class="IPBDescription">bargin bin find</div> I was in my local Game and looking in the 3 for £10 i got myself a few games i'd mostly not even heard of.
among them a game with a description that instantly made me thing "its like ns".
reading from the manual, it tells me its like a fps, with powerful close range attacks as well, an essential commander that builds on and selects equipment and upgrades for both teams(so not utterly like ns), and the human with tech vs beast with pure might (+magic).
<a href='http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/561393.asp?q=savage' target='_blank'>Game Ranking page for Savage</a>
so.. i'm installing it now, anyone else had any experiences with it?
BLOODY GORGES! i didnt type that E in the topic, the gorges are interfering with my equipment! HAX, HAX I TELL YOU!

I don't think it's much like NS, though. Sure, there's the guy who gives the team all their buildings. But that's as far as the "commander" really goes. He can make a few peasent guys to do work for him, and other players can mine and build as well, but.... there's not a whole lot similiar to NS. The gameplay, for instance, is totally different. On top of that, you do everything by hitting it with your axe/sword/weapon. Build, repair, mine, kill and maim... everything.
played the demo a year or so ago when it came out for a little while
I played it for a while, pretty neat. running around collecting red stone, bashng those penguin/monkey like things. and Shooting people with my sniper bow.
Pretty funny moments like ns.
"OMG the noob commander researched magnitism over electricity first We R Doomed@
Restart and F5!!! F5!!!"

It was fun. I remember pretty much owning a whole team as a shamen. Was quite funny considering it was like the long range siege unit for the beasts.
But otherwise it was a nice concept of a game but really flunked online.
>_< £3 wasnt bad for not having to download it though <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
alligence is another ns like game that went freeware (and open source) the curse of rts/fps?
HUGE manual too.. i've always been a manual reader... spent more time reading the baldurs gate manual than i did in my first run through of the game <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
off topic: i got it with arena wars (not even opened the box) and True crime: streets of La for £10(looked for the manual... read the backstory and put the game on the floor under my pc for later),
i also got B-17 flying fortress for 49p ^_^=win!
i'm such a budget gimp, with the exception of hl2, i cant remember the last game i got that wasnt 2nd hand or budget. still... my back catalog is in the hundreds of games now.
are vanilla genres not good enough any more?

Pretty neat game really. Both sides have a commander, who can pick the faction, which have different bonuses. It's a RTS-Flight Sim. The folks there are more tolerant, although if you're a newb don't even think of doing any advanced stuff else you'll be blamed. At least in NS if you get a HMG and stay with a group but die you don't get hollered at. But if you get a bomber and don't know how to use it well, heh.
Freeware? Where can I get it?
--Scythe--
Are you sure its free-ware and not abandonware?
though the net code is really bad... and the game could use a 100 cm coat of polish... but other then that this game couldve been very big...
It has a diffrent mood and gameplay from ns... though they are pretty similar...
They are more like very distant cousins who havent seen eachother for 30 years and live in diffrent countires...
Might download it if its freeware, and try it again, see if my taste has changed at all <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
as for ex2 being required it isnt, but its a recommended mod that will work on any server and makes the game alot better. for example in normal savage, non-commander units never know what upgrades your team has(it would be like never knowing if you have armour1 or weapons2 in NS other than ur comm saying "ok i got u armor1") or what is being upgraded, but with ex2 you can hold down a key(i think alt) and it tells you what upgrades you have/what your getting and a bunch of other stuff that should have been in the retail game but wasnt.
