<div class="IPBDescription">Anyone seen this?</div>Has anyone heard of Savage? It looks to be similar to NS in that it's got a commander who controls real people on the battlefield, ok it's not marines Vs Aliens but the RTS/FPS element is similar...

yes, this was brought up before (again)... savage looks like it will be a great game.
btw, i'm getting sick of ppl trying to say NS copies this and that. people try and bring it down by saying it's a carbon copy of something else. NS is a unique gaming experience in its own right. i know first hand.
We've got to a point in the games/mods industry/arena (respectively) where we're bound to have very similar ideas coming up independantly between two teams of creators - it's unavoidable. Hell, every single RTS has a 'commander' - that's who you play as! Who cares if something is 'similar' to NS or NS is 'similar' to something else?

I didn't mean to imply that NS is copying savage, what I meant was it also looked worth getting <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
Secondly, ikonboard needs the vbb feature of allowing the user to view a huge number of posts or threads on one page so as to avoid repeat posts <!--emo&:angry:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'><!--endemo-->
The reason why the NS forums are limited to 10 posts per page is due to bandwidth - if you had more per page, then some posts may get viewed that people might not have otherwise looked at (in multi-page topics). It makes sense when you think about it for a while - lots of people use the forums, so it adds up to a lot of bandwidth after a while.

On a similar note, while we're on the topic, I want Savage.
