Savage follows the same idea liek tremulous but pushes it mach further. For instance you have a full RTS part with ressource collection there.
But despite the differences I think its worth to take a look at it to get some inspiration how to solve some of tremulous gameplay problems...

it only works on windows, and is closed source.


and anyway, if you want to play Savage then go play Savage, tremulous != Savage and never will.

Excuse me, but how can you compare a RPG / RTS with a FPS like Tremulous?

Interestingly enough, I got directed to Savage when I described Trem to another friend. And then they made Savage fully free just last month or so... so it's also sitting on my HDD :P

I've played both, but I still highly prefer Trem. Trem is tight, close-confine fighting. It doesn't require "better levels" so much as better skill.

That said, Savage does have its advantages, including a researchable tech tree, multiple items, their commander/RTS view is actually pretty spiffy (Make that VERY spiffy considering all the action that's really going on on-screen) and their own neat humans vs. monsters system.

Each has its own strengths, but I think my engineer will stick to Trem :P

I think Savage just different, you can't say it's better or worse.

Actually I had this idea (RTSS) a while ago, before I'd even heard of Savage.
I'm going to try it. (315mb is a little big though)

Good news, thanks for the head up. Still it bothers me that the game is still closed source.

Savage is not quite as good as Natural Selection but still far better than Tremulous.

Savage promises a lot more than it delivers. Not to mention the fact that it's bugged as hell.

After reading the minimum requirement i was pretty sure it would run on my lappy, and.. it didn't!

In the lowest possible settings i get about 1,3 fps (and that's not 13..)
Thank god tremulous is still here for me :]

There is a reason for Savage's failure.
