Amazon.com Product Description
Cossacks: European Wars is a historical real-time strategy based on events of the 16th through the 18th centuries 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. Thus, England is the mightiest sea power, Austria has powerful light and heavy cavalry, and Cossacks are the pride of the Ukrainian army. Battles of up to 8,000 units may be conducted on single or network game maps. One can carry out lingering city sieges, wage guerilla wars, capture commanding heights and arrange ambushes, deploy landing forces on enemy shores, and conduct sea battles. The game system is arranged to reduce per-unit control and resource micromanagement, and to turn to global goals of powerful economy formation, science development, the capturing of new lands, and defending borders.

 awesome gmae bad draw backs September 12, 2009
C. Heller
the game is amazing and i used to play it on my old exp, but when my family upgraded from our 2 XP's to vista home and premium plus a vista compaq laptop, it wouldnt play. every time you try to play it after installation it says that dmcr is not working. i heard you could download differnt patches or change the video directory name to video 1 but i havent really had any success. also do not buy the game that is seven dollars from gogamer because they sll the xplosive company edition which is a company outside the us and the cdv tech support cant help you. the game is great but it has problems with vista and teh xp service pack 2.

The usefullness and ease of unsing formations in cossacks is what sets this game apart from starcraft or warcraft. Cossacks is much more complex. In cossacks hundreds of units march, in formation, into combat. The are an enormous number of upgrades and types of units. The main fault of cossacks is that the towns are to easy to destroy. If one fast calvery unit sneeks into an unguarded portion of town he could kill all the peasants and buildings there, often turning the tide of a game. To avoid this extreamly frusterating part of the game it is necessary to keep small squads of men (3-6 men) all throughout your town. Make sure several members of each squad are ordered to hold their ground lest they should wonder off in chase of one of several attackers. As in many (or all) games the AI is briliant at some things and abysmal at others.
 THE VERY BAD GAME November 16, 2004

Cassocks barly lives up to its expectations. It does not teach you to play.The built in teacher and manual don't teach.Im sure if I knew how to play I would like it,but let's face the facts, it stinks.I may be 10 years old, but I know a good game from a bad one.So it derserves a 1 star rating.

Cossacks: Cool Games! June 9, 2003
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
About a year back, I got tired of playin AoE II, and then I was looking on the internet and..wow! Cossacks! As I looked at it, it made me want to buy it so I rushed down to the Gamestop and bought it for $30. It was worth it. I rushed home to play it. The campaigns are marvelous, as are the single player missions. After that, in October 2002, I bought Cossacks: The Art of War. With a slew of new missions and two new nations, heck! It's the best buy yet! I made my own scenarios with the editor and had a bunch of fun. Then, came Cossacks: Back to War, and I fell in love. With Mod1 by Baddog already installed, it made the game much more enjoyable with more historical context, now I'm hooked on Cossacks: Back to War, and American Conquest, another cool game!Sounds: 9
Gameplay: 10
Replay-abilty: 10
Variety: 10 Overall: 10
This game is one of the best out there if you're a historical nut, and plus, now, it's only [item price]! So go out there and get it! :-D
