Let the battle begin! The Cossacks II: Battle for Europe add-on continues the
renowned Cossacks II:Napoleonic Wars game. It depicts the rather short
historic period of the Napoleonic wars. The Napoleon wars changed Europe
forever, leading to the formation of empires and putting an end to almost one
thousand years of constant strife between small states. The game provides
mass-scale battles between thousands-strong armies of the nations involved in
conflicts during this period. The theatres of operation introduce France,
Britain, Austria, Russia, Prussia, Egypt, and three nations not represented in
the original game – Spain, the Grand Duchy of Warsaw (Poland), and the
Confederation of the Rhine.
The Cossacks II: Battle for Europe reconstructs in detail the soldiers'
uniforms weapons and architecture of each nation. Each nation's army has its
unique units and possibilities. The game includes over 180 units 190 buildings
and 1200 flora and fauna elements. When developing the combat system the
peculiarities of early 19th century warring were taken into account as was the
value of formations provisions and troop morale. Tactical tricks utilized by
military commanders of the time are fully reflected in the game. An "honest"
system of bullet and cannonball ballistics based on physics is an innovative
addition to the Cossacks engine. Other engine features include 3-dimensional
landscaping which creates realistic-looking scenery and towns and impacts
combat tactics. For example the firing range of a subdivision of soldiers or a
cannon positioned at the top of a hill is greater than the firing range of a
unitstationed on flat terrain.
