I wanted to show you a brief introduction with pics/vids of the (meanwhile) free RTS / FPS online game:
In 2007 www.newerth.com (the official community site) acquired the source code for “Savage: The Battle for Newerth” and announced its continued development with the implementation of new features and content into the game.
Since the release of the source code to www.newerth.com, the game is free to play and has recieved significant improvements. Graphics have gotten a total overhaul, statistics can be viewed online or in-game and with an auto-updater all other extras will be available to you as soon as their released. This new version is called “Savage: The Battle for Newerth (XR)”
Choose to be a commander and play an in-depth RTS managing a command center, or choose to be a unit and you play an intense game of first person / third person combat. With the creation of a new game play genre, RTSS (Real Time Strategy Shooter), Savage expertly redefines the first-person shooter and real-time strategy genres by combining elements of both into one cohesive experience. As the commander in RTS mode, you will tackle resource management, develop a tech tree, plan tactical and strategic assault and lead a team of up to 64 human players into battle.
"commanders point of view"
As a unit in action mode, you will master melee combat, many unique weapons, powerful units, and siege vehicles to fight a fast paced battle. The aim of the game is to destroy the opponents headquarter. When trying to achieve this goal both teams clash into each other and a fight is inevitable.
"field player's point of view"
The teams fighting each other are of two different races. The "Legion of Man" is facing the "Beast Horde", both with different combat systems, technology and play-styles.
The Legion focuses mostly on defensive game play and slowly pushing back the beast. In battle humans can block, have superior ranged weapons, medical equipment and fast transportation items to be anywhere the beast show up.
The beasts however try to overwhelm the humans with a continuous destructive force. In battle beasts excel in melee fighting. They have the power to leap and their melee ability’s can be upgraded to stay alive longer or kill faster.

This unique fighting system makes “Savage: The Battle for Newerth (XR)” an one of a kind game which is very fun to play.
If you cant figure something out or if you dont know how to get the options best for you, don't be afraid to take a look at the Newerth.com Forums where many questions can be asked and answered. There is also a lot of information about the game in the forums so it might be worth to take a look.
This Savage fanatic and several others like to help out people that just discovered the game. By organising a weekly opportunity for the starting players to join a server where beginners can develop their skills and learn the game in a fun and supporting environment.
Now that you’re eager to try the game, watch this next video to see how you can install, start and join the server:
What can I do once I get the hang of it?“Savage: The Battle for Newerth (XR)” is a competitive game. This includes the opportunity for players to create and join clans. There are already numerous clans out there praying on fresh potential so once you get up to speed you might have them to your choosing. Having multiple clans creates rivalry which leads to ClanWars. Two clans battle each other in two rounds (one with humans, one with beast) on one map. High levels of team-work and cunning strategy’s play the biggest role, also talking with your clan mates over Teamspeak or another program creates a special experience. Every once in a while Newerth.com organises a tournament. Clans can sign up and fight each other on a variety of maps to decide who is next in the Hall of Fame.
since a mate has compiled all this to present Savage in other Forums, I decided to show it to the hive community... Try out and enjoy!
