Cossacks 3 is now available
on Steam for Windows.
This latest installment in GSC Game World's strategy series is a remake of the
original Cossacks: European Wars, offering a modern take on the game's large-scale
battles.
This post outlines changes in the launch version, and a
another post has details on the game's first update enabling multiplayer
support. Here's
the
launch trailer and here's word:
This remake of the classic game, that
originally launched in 2000, contains all of the elements that distinguish the
successful Cossacks games and combines them with contemporary 3D-graphics.
Cossacks 3 provides the player with infinite tactical options, including not
only the construction of buildings, the production of raw materials, but also
the broad selection of various units and the influence of the landscape.
Twelve nations, 70 different unit types, 100 research opportunities, and over
140 different historical buildings are available to the player. Besides the
battles ashore, players can build an armada and attack their enemies at sea.
Cossacks 3 offers five historic single player-campaigns and up to eight players
can fight each other in multiplayer-mode on one map. The player can forge
alliances with or against others as well as challenge the computer. Randomly
generated maps provide endless variations and can be adapted to the gamer’s
needs.
