A friend led me to this website...

http://www.s2games.com/savage/index.html

You can download (have to pay with PayPal) the whole game.

It really is very very good. Think Allegiance, Planetside and Warcraft rolled into one. Yes, an RTS & FPS combined.

I have been playing it for the last three hours and haven't even thought about having a ciggie.... oh, ****, now I want one!

Seriously tho, first impressions are of a great game!

Have been playing around with this. Reckon it would be a perfect game for the next stratLAN.

Been playing it quite a bit now since the initial post... still seems pretty damn good....

I am sure it would lend itself very nicely to clan based play...

Not tried out the commander role yet tho... that could be interesting at some point...

It's both rts and fps. One commander plays from a world view like warcraft and everyone else plays the individual grunts on the ground. Workers and defensive buildings are cpu controlled, but all offensive units are controlled by people. Your comander can order you to attack, defend an area, etc as you would normally in an rts, and the players with orders get messages and see markers on the landscape as waypoints.

If you kill people or damage buildings you get money, a percentage of which you get and the rest goes to the commander. You spend your dough on units (basic units are free, others cost more) and buy weapons and accessories. There are spawn waves similar to bf and you can spawn at certain buildings.

Research for new units and weapons is through buildings and building upgrades.

Commander can give people a promotion and/or money as incentives.

It's like Allegiance, but with a person instead of a spaceship, and with creep.

All done years ago very well by Allegiance, but just packaged a little nicer, and probably a little more user friendly too.

Superb, just what we need for this amazing game... a UK server where I can learn a bit of commanding and not get some 10 year old american take the piss.... not tried commander role yet and tbh I prefer RTS to FPS.....

I had my first go at commanding yesterday i won but not without my fair share of mutiny to deal with. Although i have to say being a player is way better.

This comes as something of a first for me saying something like this, but do we want to start a clan for this? There seems to be some built in clan management stuff, not that I have explored it yet....

Been playing Savage a fair bit recently and I love it, it's got it's share of problems but what game hasn't? Who else is interested?
