FAQ Units and NPC's

[edit] How many players will the maps support?
We'll probably support 64 players to a server again. The only real technical thing preventing that from getting any higher is server bandwidth (and processing power, to a lesser degree), but really even at 64 players the game tends to degrade into absolute chaos, so there isn't much of a point in going beyond that anyway
[edit] Have the NPCs been improved any?
NPCs are much smarter in Savage 2. They perform special abilities, attack in unison, and have much better overall intelligence. We spent more time on NPCs overall so their modelling, textures, and animations are very high quality.
[edit] How do player classes work?
During a match a player can change which unit they are. Specialty units cost gold but are outfitted to perform specific roles in the game like healing, sieging, repairing, and building.
Each unit or class in the game is outfitted with specific abilities and weaponry geared for their purpose.
[edit] Can you give us an example of class abilities?
The Predator has a leap attack ability, the Chaplin has an excercism ability, the Behemoth has a stomping stun ability, and there are many more. You can visit the Beasts or the Humans to get all the abilities for each unit.
[edit] Do we get mounts?
The initial launch of Savage 2 will not include mounts. However, we plan to release content patches that include mounts.
[edit] Will there be female characters/models?
There are no planned female models or characters... though that may change.
