Cossacks European War PC

Cossacks uses a real-time strategy game engine to pit 16 nations against each other forming alliances playing one off against the other and employing mercenaries to do their dirty work. Each nation has a full complement of land and sea forces and basic weaponry and the unique 3D contoured terrain means that capturing high points is important and ambushes can be highly effective. The graphics show units in fine detail and the smooth animation means that the battles are stunning - if not terrifying - to watch as events unfold. Cossacks portrays battle on an epic scale - you can play with up to 8 000 units with no loss of game speed. Cossacks: European Wars includes representations of over 85 battles from the 16th 17th and 18th centuries encompassing the English Civil War Thirty Years War and War For Spanish Succession among others. The wealth of historical data incorporated in the game has led the game's developer the Ukrainian GSC Game World to include a full encyclopaedia about the game and its military background on the CD-ROM.
