Cossacks 3 released
GSC Game World has announced that Cossacks 3 is now available on Steam! Word is" "The real time strategy classics awakens colossal mass battles with up to 10,000 soldiers simultaneously on the battlefield.
Twelve nations, 70 different unit types, 100 research opportunities, and over 140 different historical buildings are available to the player. Cossacks 3 is a rare combination of war, economy, army developing, building and upgrading that couldn’t be found in any game for the last 15 years. This deep RTS gameplay will return old fans in the golden ages of the genre and give newcomers a unique experience.
Besides the battles ashore, players can build an armada and attack their enemies at sea. Cossacks 3 offers five historic single player-campaigns and up to eight players can fight each other in multiplayer-mode on one map. The player can forge alliances with or against others as well as challenge the computer. Randomly generated maps provide endless variations and can be adapted to the gamer's needs."

Damn I remember playing these games in early 2000s back when I still liked to play RTS. Nice to see they will revive those times with the new game.

I just bought it after reading your post Hilbert. I totally love RTS games. It's just sad that no one actually makes them anymore. Everything is HD re-spins.

The Steam forums are saying its a bit buggy at the moment although a new patch was released yesterday. Im still smashing COH2 and NTW, ETW (with mods).

Uhm, it looks simple and cool. As AOE3 must've been.

Reminds me of Age of Empires. Looks like it's worth checking.

From reading more on this, the game appears to be no more than a HD makeover of the original.

Rise of Nations was an awesome game that even spanned civilization ages (nomad thru modern eras) and came out in 2003.
I wish they would make a new one.

Holy crap where did this come from?
Exactly!
Cossacks was the RTS back then.
And now it just landed without any promotional campaign?! The Russians are cra... actually Ukranians?

Yeah Ukrainian devs - some of the same team that made the STALKER franchise iirc.
This game's on my wishlist for sure.

Thats the impression I'm getting too. With a little 'added depth' perhaps.
