Review

Cossacks Gold combines the classic game with a new add-on. The original Cossacks: European Wars is an historical real-time strategy based on events between 16-18th century in Europe when nations and states were created and demolished and wars shed seas of blood.

There are 16 nations or regions in Cossacks: Algeria, Austria, England, France, the Netherlands, Piemonte, Poland, Portugal, Prussia, Russia, Saxony, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine, and Venice. Each has its own original graphics, economic and technical development peculiarities, military advantages and drawbacks, and unique units and technologies, providing vast choices of tactics and strategy in war against any enemy. Battles of up to 8,000 units may be conducted on single or network game maps. One can carry out lingering city sieges, wage guerrilla wars, capture commanding heights and arrange ambushes, deploy landing forces on enemy shores, and conduct sea battles.

The add-on Cossacks--Art of War is set across even more mind-boggling missions. There are new missions, new historical battles and extensive campaigns with selectable degrees of difficulty and offers plenty to those looking for more action. Map sizes have been increased along with the introduction of different terrain and vegetation to populate your fair isle. New ships, new units and even new nations have been created to give hardened fans something to revel in. For those not use to hours of play, a Peace Time option has been included allowing players to develop armies before the fighting commences. Multiplayer options have also been increased--you can now start with full armies, forge alliances with other players and even fight for the best positions in the new Global Rating system set up by CDV online. --Jason Denwood
