DESCRIPTION

The first full sequel to 2001's successful Cossacks, Cossacks II: Napoleonic Wars takes players to 19th century Europe for more fast-paced, real-time battle. Improving on the original, this 2005 release runs on an engine featuring enhanced graphics and the ability for thousands of units to appear on the same game map at once. The original Cossacks encouraged gamers to explore the diplomatic and economic aspects of warfare, as well as the militaristic, and the sequel aims to continue this inclusive approach. In control of one of six key nations of the era — France, Britain, Austria, Russia, Prussia, and Egypt — players must use all the assets available to them, natural resources as well as brave soldiers, to turn the tides of Napoleon's ambitious conquest to their own favor. ~ T.J.
