Cossacks 3,
the next installment in their Windows real-time strategy series. Here's the
info-packed announcement:
Today GSC Game World announces the release date
of the sequel to the award winning Cossacks series, Cossacks 3. It will launch
worldwide on the 20th of September 2016, exclusively for PC at retail. Leaning
on the history of the 17th and 18th century, the real time strategy game awakens
colossal mass battles with up to 10,000 soldiers simultaneously on the
battlefield.
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.
