Eons after the human civilization has crumbled upon itself, its nomadic descendants, known as the Legion of Man, are uncovering long-forgotten knowledge and technology. Devastating weapons help them fight a violent battle for their very existence, against a monstruous enemy, the Beast Horde. A race of beings evolved from the wildlife that survived the apocalyptic wars, they use brute force and the powerful magic of nature to punish the humans.
Savage XR, the successor of the 2003 award winning PC game “Savage: Battle for Newerth”, delivers a unique team-based gaming experience, defining a new genre: RTSS (Real Time Strategy Shooter). As a field player, you will master diverse weapons and units engaged in a fast paced battle. The FPS mode boasts a truly one-of-a-kind melee system, rewarding genuine player skill. In the RTS mode, as the commander of your team, you will manage your economy and resources, develop a robust tech tree, plan your assault and lead real human players to battle.

I'm honestly having a bit of trouble installing then launching this game.
Everytime I install it, it works and updates fine, but whenever I launch the game it stays at the update screen and doesn't launch the game itself. So I launched the game from the terminal and it starts up but with a black screen, and it doesn't do anything else, so I have to use "/etc/init.d/xdm stop" and restart the whole session.
Could somebody help?
Using Debian Sid, x64 Multiarch
You should post your problem here: Newerth.com
how do you spawn to a garrison?
When you spawn, you need to choose your spawn location on the map. You can either click garrison icon or stronghold icon. I presume you're going through the human tutorial. Look the map carefully when you're told to spawn at garrison (it should be in the lower left corner) :)
When you click at Tutorial in Savage XR, these 3 demos are awesome. For me they were a big help to understand how the game works. The duel demonstration was most impressive for me with this guy flying around like a mental but still so smooth! I want to become as good as this guy. Is there a step by step instruction for duel?
Haha, awesome to hear! I'm that "guy flying around like a mental" in the duel demonstration. :DDD You can become as good as me but it takes years of practice. For me it took 2 years of training to reach that skill level. I started by watching these videos tutorials: Youtube.com Youtube.com Youtube.com Then I trained the moves they showed on Martial Arena -server. First I tested these moves on npcs and after I got confident in excuting them I started to duel real opponents. I also asked other players to teach me and give me feedback on what to train next. Don't be afraid to ask for help in game! There is always someone willing to show you the ropes.
Wow! Thank you Nanaa, I will practice now!
What amazes me is that nobody ever talks about the melee combat when talking about Savage. My friends told me this is a RTS-FPS combo game, reviews say the same. Was the combat system different in early versions of the game that game reviewers just ignored it all together? I don't understand that. It's such a masterpiece. So simple, so brilliant! :)
The combat system has always been the same. What I have heard is that when S2Games released their flagship title "Savage: The Battle for Newerth" nearly a decade ago, noone realised the potential the melee system had. Even the developers were clueless of how successful melee system they came up with. That is why the game reviewers didn't praise it. During the years, players invented the style we know nowadays by trial and error. Groundbreaking moment was when some smart guy figured that you could use beast's leap to get around human's 180 degree block arch. At that point "backstab" was invented. People had preferred "carnivorous" to "rabid" but when this new backstabbing technique spread, rabid quickly became the new trend. But there is more to this. Backstab was just the core of beast melee style. After some time had passed, humans adapted to the change and learned how to predict and block simple backstabs. That led to figuring out more advanced moves to trick humans. Beast players started to do multileaps, fake hits and rapid changes in attacking direction. People realised that the move variations were endless and only limited by imagination. And what's beautiful about this is that every player can develop their own personal and unique style. Likewise you can recognise people from their handwriting, you can recognise players just by spectating their melee style. :)
