Game Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~
Choose to be a commander and you will play an in-depth RTS managing the
stronghold, or choose to be a warrior and you will play an intense game
of first 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 robust tech tree, plan your assault and
lead real human players into battle. As a warrior in action mode, you
will master many unique weapons, powerful units, and siege vehicles to
fight a fast paced battle.

Set in a unique fantasy world eons from now where Humans and Beasts
battle violently for their very existence. Savage transports PC gamers
to the next level in multi-player gaming. Choose to fight on the side
of HUMANITY, armed with science and technology, or take the side of the
BEAST HORDE, masters of nature and magic. Each race has its own style of
battle, its own leader, and its own way to victory. Which side are you
on?


Game Features:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* CONCEPT
Combining real time strategy and first person action, Savage delivers
the next level in multiplayer gaming. Instead of sending mindless
computer drones into battle, imagine organizing real human players on
a crusade to conquer your adversary. Choose to be a commander, and you
will play an in-depth RTS game, researching technologies, mining
resources, and issuing orders to your units. Choose to be a warrior,
and you will play an intense game of first person combat, wielding
your weapon of choice to strike down the enemy.

* Savage is designed so that neither RTS nor Action based play are
watered down in any way. RTS fans will have all the control they are
used to, such as: tech tree, resource management, and tactical strategy.
In turn, the action-based players will play an in-depth fighting game
with a heavy emphasis on battle dynamics. Although the two sides work
together their roles are very distinct.

* COMMANDERS
Your base starts out with a command center. Here you may create workers
to mine nearby resources, which are then used to develop and augment new
technologies. These technologies will provide your team with stronger
units, weapons, and defenses. Ranged units, protective walls, defensive
towers and siege weapons, are some of the many upgrades you will provide
your team. Once you have created a formidable offense it is time to
orchestrate your assault. Lead your loyal warriors into battle and fight
for the survival of your race.

* ACTION MODE PLAYERS
Your game begins inside your team's command center. Here you equip
yourself with weapons and abilities before commencing battle. As an
action-based player you have all the freedom of a first person shooter,
running, jumping, hacking, slashing, and firing ranged weapons. You have
at your disposal any of the items your commander has researched thus far.
In addition to light, medium, heavy, and ranged characters, you may
choose to man a defensive tower or control a siege weapon. Work together
and be victorious in your quest for total domination.

This isnt original, while the first retail version, Natural Selection is a mod for HL, which is futuristic but has the same concept....but Savage does have some appeal.
