Cossacks: European Wars is a historical real-time strategy (RTS) game based on events in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. Controlling up to 16 nations (such as Algeria, Austria, England, France, Saxony, Venice, etc.), the player must discover the unique characteristics of each one, strengthening key areas such as economy, technological development or military advantage, while dealing with the weaknesses of the different nations, such as the difficulties of nature they had to face in their countries or the weakness of certain social structures.
All in all, in this instalment of the renowned Cossacks saga, England stands out for its powerful navy, Austria has the most renowned cavalry of the age and France is heading towards the final blow to social cohesion of the last few centuries. In addition, this time there are real-time battles of up to 8,000 units, city sieges, guerrilla warfare and great naval battles between enemy powers.
