I PLAYED THE DEMO, AN IT IS GREAT. I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY THE FULL VERSION. I'M A WAR-HISTORY NUT. TO BE ABLE TO RECREAT, OR, OF, ALL THE WHAT-IF's? THIS IS ONE OF THE BETTER WAR-GAMES OUT THERE, IF YOU LOVE HISTORY, AND THE MIDDLE-AGE'S TIME PERIOD. YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE. THANK YOU. RON.

Cassocks barly lives up to its expectations. It does not teach you to play.The built in teacher and manual don't teach.Im sure if I knew how to play I would like it,but let's face the facts, it stinks.I may be 10 years old, but I know a good game from a bad one.So it derserves a 1 star rating.

Age of Empires Rip-Off

I know this has probably been said but I decided to say it again. No matter how good this game was on its own I couldn't play it at all without first thinking Age of Empire. Don't get me wrong the missions are unique and challenging(sometimes enormously hard). But I somehow feel like I have played the game before. The game is wonderful and this one had the decked stacked against it from the outset, to bad.

My impression-A decent game that could have been a great game

Great Game.

Okay this game is great. Some people say the AI (artificial Inteligence) is lacking, and in some situations that is true, but this game makes up for that in other areas. For instance it's multiplayer is one of the best. You can play people from all over the world. You can play as 16 different empires. Each with their own specific units and buildings. Each of the units and buildings have their own strengths and even different styles. You can have up to 8,000 units on a scree, so if two people are playing they can each have 4,000 units, which is by far better than any other RTS (Real Time Strategy) game on the market. You can upgrade almost all units and buildings, and their are upgrades that will help each task in the game. This game is well worth the money. If you are a fan of AOE (Age Of Empire), Europa Universalis, Settlers, etc. I would definitly buy this game.

BEST GAME EVER !!!!!!!!!

This game is one of the best stratedy games i have ever seen and i highly recomend buying it! first of all the game has a huge selection of countries to choose from. Then each county is totaly unigue in its own way. Then what makes this game the best is how much you can differn from your oppent because of how many upgrades you can get. Although haveing a lot of men is good if they aren't upgarded they are useless. The graphics i find to be quiet good. The game is a long term game though which is some times frustrating but its hours of long fun! There is quick single missions and also missions. I like single missions cause theres only one thing to do and that is kill your apponent. Then then best part of the game is how much startedy is invovled. Actully there is a points system that the computer keeps track of and when you do a awsome attack you rack up the points. But if you just charge at your enime like an idiot you dont get to many points. But for me i really dont play the game to much anymore because i have played it for at least 100 hours. I play the multiplayer!! this is the coolest most exciting thing ever. Playing a human is so much diffent than playing the computer. Playing the computer is practice playing a human is real war. The multiplayer is great but.. i very often have a hard time using it because it is and internet connection not modem connection. In an internet connection you need to get into a server which is no problem then tell your friend or friends what he name of the game you are creating is and the password then they need to find the game {which is the worst thing} i can never find it or the games dont load properly. But dont get discouraged the multiplayer is still great. The last con is that almost immdeditly when i get into the game i lose sounds wi\hich takes away action and fun. This has not always happened to me but just recently and it does not happen to any of my friends who have the game so i think it is my problem but it could be a bug i dont know. Also as soon as you get the game go to www.strategyfirst.com and get the patch for this game. It only takes 5 min and will lets you enjoy you game more. TRust me buy this game!! i played the demo of this game like it was the really game thats how good it is. And since it is not tottaly brand new the price has dropped about half. i know you can get it at best buy for 20.00 which it used to be 45.00 so buy it now and start playin it!! have fun!

Cossacks is a rip off!

Being an Age of Empires junkie, I bought Cossacks thinking it would be similar. I give credit to the designers and people who made the game. Cossacks has gorgeous backgrounds, beautiful buildings, and units, unfortunatly I was disappointed with how it played. The game played very slow and it takes forever to build things. More than anything I was frustrated and recieved no satisfaction from playing it.

let's talk about it

Yes, everyone is right. But you have to admit that it is an upgrade from the classics such Warcraft and Starcraft. The game is good with graphics and control. But yes one little guy with very hair on a horse comes riding in can take over your whole entire city that you have worked so hard on. I do love the game, though. I have read that someone compared this Age Of Empires. I have that one as well. It is also a very good game. [...]

I bought this game as soon as it was released. First, I couldn't know how to start an interesting compaign. Scenarios are really boring. On the otherhand, there are lots of units and different countries with cool graphics.

the truth

this is the only game that shows how warfare was in the 16th-18th centuries I am a hardcore wargamer so this was a breath of fresh air to me that they made this game all of the units are highly detailed and the combat relies on strategy not by number I personally have destroyed 1000+ units with 500 grenieders so if you are interested in renissance warfare then you must buy this game but chek for patches it is a little buggy and the gameplay is very hard to master but easy to learn
