Having never played Savage, i can't really give an accurate comment but from what Electricnexus says, especially the phrase 'spawn troops' plus the fact that there will be human controlled Assassins roaming around for you to kill, the two games do sound slightly similar in some respects.

Not to double post but lane games with towers feel COMPLETELY different than normal RTS's.

I thought Demigod would be much larger in scale since it is built on the Supreme Commander engine which is all about massiveness?

i played savage and as far as i seen it is exactly like savage:
1) you do not stay the level you gained in a match/game/whatever (really!! sucks it is like its not an rpg at all just a bonus you gain in match...)
2) you have a limited area to be in (i dont care about that but it should be big!! really big!)
3) general and assasins are exactly like savage general do the building stuff in stratgy mode and assassin is a hero that destroy enemy (will it all be with mouse or keyboard is usable for attacking/moving?)
well i dont know about equipment but if it stays only in the time you play in the match its makes it more like savage (same with gold)

if developers want to suprise us and make us more happy:
make a game diffrent from savage! the point of RPG is to gain Levels/Gold/Equipment and to stay with it! not lose it!
copy from BF not from Savage! thats my opinion, any way i did pre-ordered and i expect a very good game
either it will be savage like (wich i will be very disapointed) or a spical new game that is not savage like (wich i would extremly be happy to play)

Since when could a Savage commander spawn troops? Savage 2 commander can spawn upto 3 NPC builders, but they aren't troops and they sure as heck aren't going to be much use in a fight.

The Savage commander's job was to coordinate people (or try to, pubs don't believe in following orders) and build stuff (a job that can be done in Savage 2 without the use of a commander). Savage 2 commanders got to kind of buff/debuff people. The Demigod General controls a bundle of NPCs to help with actual combat (but not all of them, as far as I'm aware), and you aren't limited to one general per team.

As for comparing Assassins to Savage soldiers, that's kind of silly, because every game involving combat is going to have combatants. Are we going to call Demigod a TF2 clone because the Assassin serves the same purpose as Heavy Weapons Guy/Pyro/Demoman/etc?

And of course, Savage has it's roots firmly planted in First Person Shooters, Demigod does not appear to. That said, we really can't say what all Demigod is really like until we have more info.

If it's anything like Savage, it'll be a terrible, broken and unpolished game that basically sinks without a trace. The original Savage was horrible.

Wow...Just Wow.... This game is nothing, i repeat nothing like savage...AT ALLLLLLL. Right now i play savage 2 alot, i can tell all of you, this is notrhing like it. Hell look at the screenshots way better graphics.

For those of you who have not played savage i'll give you a rundown.

You start off in a map similar to a typical RTS map, one main base a gold mine some random mobs. With other gold mines about that you can go and take over and build at to get resources for your faction. You can fight other players ina melee style rock paper scissors fight of Attack, block, or parry or whatever. (i forget waht stuff is caleld soemtimes) I'll hold off on commenting about the bugs or lag and jsut keep going with the synopsis, you're main goal is to destroy the enemy's base. Woah thats original....does that make demigod like savage? no. There are no computer controlled mobs that rush the different lanes of the map, there are noe huge colossus bad ass lookin guys. Oh wait there is the behemoth but he sucks...everyone just goes for becoming the demon guy anyways. The commander dosent get to build any troops at all, he just gets to sit up there and throw buffs and buildings down, its really boring being the commander. So the difference in Demigod as i can see it so far is pretty much everything. Yes you get items and lvl up your hero for that round in Savage 2 again its not that original. Whats original about savage is the mix of rts fps and rpgishness.

So whoever is being retarded and saying demigod is gonna be like savage 2 is silly. I mean come on! it's called Demigod! there will be badassery and epicness to boot. But hey i'll be in the ebta so after i play it i'll let y'all know about how it's really like.

There won't be an NDA for the public beta portion, it'd be too many people to keep track of. an NDA requires thats the person receive the forms, Read sign and fax/scan/mail back said forms, it will be too much BS at that point. Besides they want people in the beta to spread a hype about the game. So that you come onto forums like this or Game replays or wherever and talk it up so that people in those gaming communities think about spending their money on Demigod and not "Joe Blow action adventure shoot em up" trash games
