Cossacks: Art of War is a real-time strategy (RTS) game that allows you to relive the European history of the 17th and 18th centuries. By controlling the different factions that fought in these conflicts, you can train their armies, build their characteristic infrastructures and wisely manage resources in order to achieve victory. In addition, the role of naval battles has been enhanced, emphasising the importance of dominating the seas to counter the military might of other countries.
The different armies and the history of the countries are represented in great historical detail, allowing you to learn about the campaigns and the different units that each contender had when facing each other on the battlefield. The units that can be controlled during the game range from King Frederick II of Prussia to the Algerian pirates of the Mediterranean, with each campaign covering several missions throughout these two centuries of European warfare.
