Hi guys - not that you'll remember, I posted a thread about this [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.281463-Savage-2-RTS-RPG-hybrid-melee-combat-game] quite a while back.

Just recently part of the Savage 2 community got access to the source code and all the assorted bells and whistles, so from now on, we'll be seeing occasional patches. It would be nice to get more people playing, so that we can start getting something of a sizable community again.


For those of you not in the know yet - Savage 2 (website here) [http://www.savage2.com/en/main.php] is a hybrid third person combat and real time strategy game, kind of like if you played Starcraft, but also on the ground as one of the units. (Also minus the space marines, unfortunately)

My dream has always been to have a vibrant competitive Savage 2 community, just as large as the Starcraft one, with shoutcasted matches and replays with commentary and stuff. Here's one from TotalBiscuit, it's the only one of it's kind, as far as I know...

The competitive scene of Savage 2 was never really alive. The competitive Savage community sticked to original Savage:

Sounds interesting. I may try it out over the weekend.
Is it easy enough to get into? Can I learn to play fairly easily? Is the community okay and supportive of new players?

I'm not sure how easy you mean, but no, to be honest I don't think it's easy to get good at it. It has quite the difficulty curve, mostly because the melee combat is some of the best I've ever seen in a game.

DEFINITELY. Our community is incredibly small, and as a result most of us know each other, almost like family.

Head there and introduce yourself - there are many threads with a wealth of information for new players, and plenty of helpful people. Just ask.
