Description
Return of the legendary Cossacks! The sequel of the award winning strategy series.

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.

This remake of the classic game, that originally launched in 2000, contains all of the elements that distinguish the successful Cossacks games and combines them with contemporary 3D-graphics. Cossacks 3 provides the player with infinite tactical options, including not only the construction of buildings, the production of raw materials, but also the broad selection of various units and the influence of the landscape.



Twelve nations, 70 different unit types, 100 research opportunities, and over 140 different historical buildings are available to the player. 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.



  • Grandiose battles of up to 16,000 soldiers on the battlefield
  • 12 playable nations
  • 100 research opportunities
  • 140 different historic buildings
  • Battles ashore and at sea
  • Five singleplayer historical campaigns
  • Infinite variations of battles on randomly generated maps

Note: This game may require additional serial key for multiplayer mode. In case it is not automatically generated in your GOG library (open it via website → select the game → More → Serial Keys), please reach out to our Support team.

Not bad but...

The pathfinding is more accurate but the overall feeling is not reaches the classic first series.

One of the Best RTS games ever made

Just a really great all around RTS game. The way it handles individual units and the ability it gives you to freely create your cities and strategies is unmatched!
