#SAVAGE XR PLAY AS COMMANDER UPGRADE#
Can upgrade bow and arrow technologies as well as special weapons. Also, when a building for a specific technology is lost, the ability to spawn with or resupply those weapons is also lost. These may be upgraded to allow tech tree expansion into better units and weapons in each technology. Buildings Each team starts with a headquarters, a Stronghold in the case of the Humans, and a Lair in the case of the Beasts. The players themselves choose what type of unit they would like to spawn as as well as what items they would like in their loadout, and as long as they or their commander has enough gold, may spawn as such. Players The players act as agents of destruction, attempting to prevent the enemy from reaching their base and sub-bases, as well as taking over tactical locations like spawn flags and chokepoints. The commander may be impeached by popular vote, typically if he is a poor commander or makes unpopular command decisions. The Mana Restore power restores a beast's mana reserve. The Fire Shield power makes melee attackers of the shielded unit take damage. The Portal power creates a temporary portal that allows players to jump between points.

The Beast commander also has a limited number of special powers he may use. The commander also approves the other players' loadout costs if the player himself does not have enough gold to pay for his chosen loadout. The commander can promote a small number of human players to officers, who have a number of positive area effects as well as being an impromptu squad leader. However, he cannot directly build other units - these units are human-controlled, and while they may be commanded, there is no guarantee that they will obey. From a top-down perspective of the map, the commander builds structures, researches, and commands a small number of resource harvesters. Commander The game plays similarly to any other real-time strategy game. If the commander is good but the players can't aim, or make terrible tactical choices, that team will likely lose as well, although typically technologies are the overall determining factor in which players do better. If the commander is poor and wastes his money or researches unnecessary technologies, the team will likely lose no matter how good the players are. Gameplay The game has both RTS and FPS elements, and therefore the skill of both the commander and the players is important in determining the winner. After a good ten years, the Legion of Man finds the beasts mysteriously more organized and more advanced than they had expected, united under an unknown leader, prepared for open war. She finally escapes after she watches in horror as a naive young beast attempts to return a flower she dropped, which then gets unmercifully slaughtered when noticed. Jaraziah outright refuses, and she becomes a pariah, kept inside her mother's home. She keeps her gifts a secret, while at the same time pressuring her brother to treat the beasts as equals, to make peace with them. Her presence has the ability to tame animals, and she can communicate with them. Meanwhile, Jaraziah's youngest sister Ophelia sees good in the beasts. He creates the Protocols of Grimm, a law declaring humans superior to beasts, and under his excellent leadership, leads a renaissance in both military and scientific fronts. A brutal warlord's son, Jaraziah Grimm, reforms and regroups the tribes under a single banner, the banner of the Legion of Man, after his father disappears. The animals of the world have evolved as well, gaining intelligence similar to that of humans. Story Eons from now, civilization is all but lost, and the humans roam in nomadic tribes, pillaging what is now known as Newerth (New Earth) for resources, paying no attention to the lost arts of science.

#SAVAGE XR PLAY AS COMMANDER FREE#
The game was made free to all as a promotion for its sequel, Savage 2: A Tortured Soul. The goal of the game is to destroy the enemy headquarters, either the Humans' Stronghold or the Beasts' Lair. The rest of the players on the team play as combat units on the battlefield, with either a third-person view for melee or most siege unit combat, and first-person view for ranged weapons. One player on each team plays as commander, with a top-down view typical of most real-time strategy games. Overview Savage is a hybrid of the real-time strategy and first-person shooter genres, what S2 Games describes as a "Real-time Strategy Shooter," or RTSS.
