- Patch 1.0.8 - 22 September 2016
General: Added a new map, Crossroads. This large classic map features numerous paths converging on a single crunch point in the center. Balance: Fire ward and land mine slow is now countered by splash damage immunity, and has slightly reduced duration. Fixes: Fixed some issues with repeater and blaze sounds. Fix for corpses standing up sometimes. Fix for occasional mesh falling through ground after being knocked back. Fixed an instance that could lead to an alive player being in ragdoll.
- Patch 1.0.7 - 12 September 2016
Balance: Fire ward and land mines: Damage reduced 500->200. Added a 3s slow to anyone damaged. Hitboxes (when you shoot at them) increased. General: Added Lair and Stronghold death effects. Added Predator and Shaman cosmetics. Optimizations: Visibility and stealth calculations optimized. Building and weapon tick optimizations. Character death optimizations. Aura application optimizations. Skeletal mesh optimizations for buildings and dome effects. Pickup collision optimizations. Fixes: Fixed self weapon sounds being occluded incorrectly sometimes. Fixed sacrifice incorrectly having splash protection. What's next?: Crossroads is next.
- Patch 1.0.6 - 30 August 2016
Balance: Spawn flags now take 2.5x as long to capture. You'll need to be sneakier or bring friends to ninja capture a flag now. 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. This is only available in solo practice as it requires you to be the server. Added more UI options, such as the ability to disable score popups. Fixes: NPC corpses are cleaned up a bit faster now. Optimized FPS minimap a little. Fixed Repeater and Blaze sound effects. Fixed Revive and Resurrect sound effects. Fixed some missing death groans. Fixed 'to all' voice messages not playing sometimes. Fixed nameplate and action tip position conflict on mines. Fixed a commander order voice line duplication. As always, tell us what you think on the Steam community forums!
- Patch 1.0.5 - 25 August 2016
Howdy, 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 li…
- Patch 1.0.3 - 24 August 2016
Happy 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 m…
- Patch 1.0.2 - 23 August 2016
Greetings, 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 recent…
- RTS-FPS Revival: Savage Resurrection Released - 22 August 2016
Old people might remember Savage: The Battle for Newerth, a combination of FPS and RTS released in 2003 by S2 Games. The studio have focused on MOBAs in recent years, releasing Heroes of Newerth and Strife , but they’re back genremashing now. After a stretch on Steam Early Access, they’ve properly released Savage Resurrection . Based on the first Savage game, Resurrection offers 16v16 men vs. monsters multiplayer where one player on each side is a commander and the rest are their troops to direct around. Build bases, lead attacks, smash the enemy’s stuff up… it’s an RTS played by FPS players, yeah? …

Greetings Savages! There's never been a better time to get your Savage on, because we've just temporarily increased the cosmetic loot drop rate by 1000% :O When will the madness end? We're not telling! Edit: Loot is working again.
- Patch 1.0.1 - 19 August 2016
Greetings, Savages! Here's our first post-release patch, hope you're enjoying the game so far. Balance: Healers revive range increased from 500 -> 1000, mana cost removed (still has a 10s cooldown). Respawn times have been increased slightly. General: Optimized many character animations. Improved UI for healers revive range and cooldown. Added "Can't Fire" feedback click. Allow VO lines on the end game screen via V menu. Added scrolling message feedback when your relocator doesn't work. Beast worker build sound updated. Commander role assignments UI updated.

- Savage Resurrection: Now Released! - 18 August 2016
Today marks the official launch of Savage Resurrection, as we leave Steam Early Access. We see this as the next natural step in the evolution of the game we love, and plan to continue developing the game in concert with our existing community, along with the influx of new blood we hope to see. Over the last 3 months of Early Access our community has provided excellent feedback which we have used to significantly improve our game, and we feel it is now ready to take on a larger audience. So what’s next? In the immediate term we’ll be monitoring performance and balance over release, and will be working on optimizations and tweaks as needed. We’re also working on a new map as well as various features and improvements that have been hotly requested by our community. We’re happy that you've found your way to Savage Resurrection, and we're excited to hear what you think! Please take some time…

- 0.1.42: Ctrl-Z - 11 August 2016
Player Abilities: Have been removed and will be rethought. Balance: Replenish is now applied over a short duration instead of instantly. Sacrifice damage taken penalty reduced 40% -> 30%. General: Classic order mode is back, plays nicely with the role system. Increased build and repair score. Rupture has a new impact that is optimized. Improved some weapon effects.

- 0.1.41 - 10 August 2016
Balance: Buffed Chaplain Shield from 20% to 30% damage reduction.

- 0.1.40: AI, Abilities + More - 9 August 2016
Update: 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…
- 0.1.39: Respawn, Recall, Regen - 28 July 2016
http://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…
- Patch 0.1.37 - 22 July 2016
Happy 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,…
