About Cossacks 3

Cossacks 3 is the third main game in the long-running historical real-time strategy series.

Battle elements include a limited supply of weapons, the impact of the landscape, and the use of tactical formations.

The game is based on history of the 17th and 18th century and contains twelve nations, 70 different unit types, more than 140 historical buildings and 100 research opportunities. Battles are done on land as well as on sea using a full armade of ships. The single-player portions consists of five campaigns and multiplayer is supported for up to eight players on a single map. Randomly generated maps can be used to challenge computer opponents.
