General: Made the building under attack alerts a bit smarter, improved their throttling. Added a Melee trace helper to the practice mode F10/Esc menu.

As always, tell us what you think on the Steam community forums!Patch 1.0.5Aug 25, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsHowdy, Savages! We finished a few little extras and decided to squeeze them in before the epic Savage weekend! General: Important gameplay event alerts have moved from the kill log to a more prominent top center location, and have been improved. Buildings under attack will now display their health, and losing buildings will display what technology was lost (if any) to help communicate the importance of their defense. AI Commander can now issue micromanagement orders, e.g. attack a particular unit (siege or shield tower), repair a particular building. Spawn flags get a special minimap icon. Balance: K.O.N.G. projectile lifetimes have been reduced so that using hills to raise your trajectory will only give you a slight range advantage. It was previously possible to get a much bigger advantage than intended. Fixes: If an item is nearly limited, you will now only be able to buy up to the limit. AI Commanders build order no longer gets stuck waiting for gold sometimes. Grenade launcher dust effect has been reined in. Fixed bug where worker count + limit could be incorrect. Fixed commander using gateway via minimap. Fixed queued research not being refunded if the building dies. Splash damage should now be more reliable. Fixed a server crash. What are we doing next?: We're always working on performance, bugs, and balance. We're making the endgame sequence more exciting. That stronghold needs to explode! We're improving situational feedback / gameplay awareness feedback. We're working on Crossroads, the next map. As always, tell us what you think on the Steam community forums! Edit: Updated to 1.0.5 with a server crash fix.Patch 1.0.3Aug 24, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsHappy Wednesday, Savages! Today we have a fine selection of balance adjustments and bug fixes for your gaming pleasure. Balance: With this patch we aimed to slightly increase the anti-building damage potential of both teams. Behemoth health increased moderately. This guy wasn't tough enough. K.O.N.G. health increased slightly, firing range increased slightly, but AoE radius moderately reduced - should be more effective against buildings but less effective against players. Increased the anti-building effectiveness of anti-building weapons slightly (Ember, Fireball, Rocket Launcher, Grenade Launcher). These are intended to be viable alternatives to Siege units when used en-mass or by a sneaky strike force. Boom Buggy's damage when attacking other siege class units was moderately reduced. This offensive unit was too effective in defense. Optimization: Boom Buggy draw optimization. Gadget movement optimization. Fixes: Fixed a crash in predicted projectiles. Fixed broken time based stats. Made "click to request" label more obvious. Fixed savage resurrect anim not playing. Fixed double clicking units as commander. Fixed some duplicating voice lines. Fixed some AI Commander + worker glitches. Fixed Spire collision. Fixed post-processing on Bunker and Morning. Fixed revive decals showing up on map origin. Fixed collision on a few rocks. Fixed position of some RTS UI elements. Fixed mana label separator on FPS UI. Made building death animations more reliable. Fixed your emblem when in a party. Filter in-game news to official patch notes. What are we doing next?: We're always working on performance, bugs, and balance. We're making the endgame sequence more exciting. That stronghold needs to explode! We're improving situational feedback / gameplay awareness feedback. We're working on Crossroads, the next map. As always, tell us what you think on the Steam community forums!Patch 1.0.2Aug 23, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, Savages! We're hard at work fixing and improving things based on the feedback collected over the release weekend. Here's the first of that: Balance: Respawn times are now a flat 15s. Once a game has been going for longer than 30 minutes these will slowly increase for both teams. This should help end defensive stalemates by allowing the team with the advantage to score more building damage. We'll be keeping a close eye on this and tweaking as needed! Replaced the existing overtime (> 60 minutes) mechanic. Overtime now critically damages all structures. We think this will be a bit more intuitive and fun. Standard (AI Commander) games now give each team a small redstone drip very late game when redstone is exhausted. This should help end stalemates where both teams have no tech and no redstone is left on the map. Spire and Guard Tower projectile speed decreased by 10%. We recently buffed this and think we went a little too far. General: Quickmatch shouldn't give the "Full Server" error as much. Fixed an issue causing end-game loot to not drop as frequently as it should. Added new gameplay tips to death and loading screens. Advanced mode should never start with AI commanders, but it will still let them take over if the human is out of their seat for over a minute. Created KONG destruction sound effects. The gold pickup sound now plays when getting gold directly from a kill. Borderless fullscreen window is now the default setting. Added a role reminder message. Added PT-BR text translation, thanks to Brian Santos. Updated Loadout stored health icon to be more clear. Landmine glow tweaked to be a little more different to fire wards. Added natural cover to Bunker, also prettied up a few areas and fixed some stuck spots. Optimization: Optimized our usage of cloth physx. Actor location update optimization. Optimized draw rate of fps vitals. Fixes: Automatic player spectate on queue skips over unreleased players so you aren't looking at the ground (if possible). Fix for private games being joinable after the first match sometimes. Fixed people occasionally getting stuck in rag-doll after a rez. Fixed a client crash or two. Fixed a server crash. Reduced volume of Snow Footstep sfx. The steam inventory button is now disabled until all the data has arrived, preventing that empty inventory bug. LostHills rock collision fixed. What are we doing next?: We're always working on performance, bugs, and balance. We're making the endgame sequence more exciting. That stronghold needs to explode! We're improving situational feedback / gameplay awareness feedback. We're working on Crossroads, the next map. As always, tell us what you think on the Steam community forums!RTS-FPS Revival: Savage Resurrection ReleasedAug 22, 2016 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunOld people might remember Savage: The Battle for Newerth, a combination of FPS and RTS released in 2003 by S2 Games.

As always, fixing bugs. 0.1.40: AI, Abilities + MoreAug 9, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsUpdate: Hotfixed a few bugs with orders. Balance: Decreased gold bounties by 500. We’re keeping an eye on the in-game economy, and determined that gold was a bit too plentiful. You can no longer recharge stored health while using a siege unit. i.e. you must leave the spawn as a non-siege unit to recharge your loadout health pool. This is to counter defensive siege camping. Entering a spawn point more than twice in a short period of time will invoke a cooldown. This is to counter cheesing the spawn invulnerability and defensive siege camping. Spawn invulnerability will now be removed as soon as you start moving or take an offensive action. Siege weapons do not get spawn invulnerability. Increased tower/spire projectile speed by 20%. We think they were a little too easy to dodge. Increased spawn times slightly (~1s on average). We may need to adjust this further, as it is can be a little difficult to end games at the moment. While sacrifice is active, you take 40% increased damage. Sacrifice is still very effective but is now a little easier to counter. Spawn flag capture mechanic changed to be ‘king of the hill’ style. Standing in the capture area will push the flag capture bar towards your team. Bunker now has a spawn flag on each hill. Network: Tightened maximum lag compensation. Disabled simulated proxy interpolation (will instead forward simulate on client instead of interpolating to last known location). Added a warning on the FPS interface when your ping exceeds the melee compensated threshold (orange) or ranged compensated threshold (red). Roles and Abilities: Players are now able to choose between 3 roles to help bring their team to victory: Attackers, Defenders, and Special Ops. The Commander can specify how many players they would like in each role, but ultimately the decision rests with each player, and the player can change their role at any time. Team wide orders (alt-click) are now issued to a particular role and are permanent until cancelled. They also support more detailed commands (up to 3 per role) e.g. your Defenders might be assigned to mine redstone at your expansion, your Attackers to bring siege to their expansion, and your Special Ops to target their workers in their main base. Individual direct orders work as previously, with the addition of a new ant trail to make these more noticeable to the player. Each role comes with an Ability which is charged by carrying out actions that award Score. These are designed to help you carry out your chosen assignment and their charge persists through death. Special Ops Ability "Leaf on the wind": Become one with your surroundings, gaining movement speed, stealth, health regen and protection from splash damage for 10 seconds. Attacking will cancel this effect. Defender Ability "Repair Rampage": Damaged structures make you furious! For the next 6 seconds your melee strikes restore enormous amounts of health to buildings. Attacker Ability "Bathe in Blood": Fueled by the blood of your enemi...0.1.39: Respawn, Recall, RegenJul 28, 2016 - Community Announcementshttp://i.imgur.com/w39kxJi.gif Balance: Players have a new ability “Recall” which can be used to return you to your main base at any time. Recall must be channeled for 6s without taking damage, and without being able to move. Recall is not available to siege. Respawn times are now individual and overall shorter in duration. The duration increases as you die repeatedly within a short period of time (allowing games to end), but is never as long as the previous maximum. The out of combat speed boost now also has a maximum duration of 20s. Land mines and fire wards are now vulnerable to conventional weapon damage. There is no longer a low stamina regeneration penalty. Shield tower radius increased, but damage reduction decreased. K.O.N.G. and Behemoth purchase costs increased to 9500 instead of 7500. Ranged kill bounty value decreased to 35% instead of 45%, but the remaining gold now drops as pickups as before. Nomad + Scavenger kill bounties are now 2000 instead of 3000. All other units kill bounty adjusted to be purchase cost + 2000. Changes and Additions: Increased bot accuracy and decreased reaction time in bot vs bot combat to improve human vs beast bot team combat (human bots don't get stomped by beast bots anymore). Morning south area visually reworked. Practice with Bots now supports multiplayer and disables team balance. AI Commander Casual has been renamed to Standard. Casual has been renamed to Advanced, and the AI commander takeover time has been increased from 25s to 60s. Updated the Play interface in the main menu. Added out of combat visual effect to healers. Made minor replication optimisations. Fixes: Fixed crash on level transition caused by attached particle systems set to auto destroy. Team select now obeys custom team balance settings. Fixed some weapon idle sounds playing inappropriately. What are we even doing? Our next big patch will focus on giving players a bit more specialized purpose within the game and will vastly improve the AI Commander. Patch 0.1.37Jul 22, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsHappy Friday, Savages! We're currently working on some more larger scale gameplay improvements, focusing on the commander, the economy, game pacing, and stalemates. Our artists are also hard at work improving our existing weapon assets. We're occasionally handing out new waves of beta keys that will last through the end of Early Access, send your friends to http://savrez.com/beta/ General: Tweaked out of combat move speed bonus: now applied once when spawning (does not re-apply). Now breaks when within 5m (down from 10m) of enemy unit, or 30m of enemy building. Changed default speed multiplier to 1.4 (down from 1.5) Added out of combat speed visual effect. Added new beam effects to team pings. Updated rupture animations. Made some performance optimizations to character movement. Made some minor performance optimizations to the UI. Updated Shaman item animations. Updated Bunker foliage, and fixed more stuck spots. Fixes: Fixed several crashes. Fixed beast tower upgrades so they now require lair 2 instead of nexus. Spawn invulnerability buff clears early if attempting to deal damage. Fixed bunker lighting after leaving com. Corpses shouldn't affect out of combat state.
