Cossacks II: Napoleonic Wars:

In Cossacks II: Napoleonic Wars, lead your 19th century army to glory in this much-anticipated sequel to the internationally acclaimed Cossacks: European Wars. Whether fighting as Napoleon's highly disciplined "Grande Armée", the tenacious Russians and their Cossack horseback warriors, the Austrians, Britons, Prussians, or Egyptians, the challenges will be daunting as you master weapons and tactics during a time that redefined modern warfare.

- Massive Historical Battles - Fight through battles of the 19th century, with massive armies colliding in varied types of terrain and weather.
- Varied Game Play - Enjoy the strategic campaign for the dominance of Europe, follow in the footsteps of emperors and generals in history-inspired battles, or duke it out in open-ended skirmishes.
- There's More To Winning Than Combat - Learn to weaken your enemies economically before the first musket volley is fired. Forge treaties, devise treacheries, or simply buy your opponents' loyalties.
- Realistic Troop Morale System - Only well-led, well-provisioned troops live long enough to grow in experience and become valuable battlefield assets.

Cossacks II: Battle for Europe:

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.

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.

- Control the French, Russians, Austrians, Britons, Prussians, or Egyptians -- master new weapons and tactics during a time that redefined the meaning of modern warfare.
- Fight through historically inspired battles of the 19th century, with massive armies colliding in different types of terrain and weather.
- Battles on real historical scale with tens of thausands of units on one map.
- Realistic Troop Morale System - Well-fed troops live longer and grow in experience to become valuable battlefield assets, while fierce and overwhelming opponents, or marching long distances will cause morale to drop.
- Enhanced diplomacy tools help you create treaties that give you the advantages.

Do not buy it.

Well, the game used to run but was stuttering a lot. Then I tried going into compatibility mode, and now the game doesn't even get to the menu anymore. It opens, then goes to a black screen, then the loading screen, then black again, and finally crashes. 0/10 I really wanted to play, but it doesn't work. Don't buy it; it will most likely not work.

unplayble

I have a w7x64 and after many tries I managed it to run, but sadly on my setup it was still broken even inside game (graphic artifacts, half of screen full of some "noise" and so on). It is probably not a bad game itself but the technical problems make it unplayable. (users of version from the other big online game store have similar critique so it is probably broken everywhere)

Doesn't run

Cannot get it to run on Windows 7 x64. Tried all sorts of tricks, nothing seems to get it to run. Right after trying to start: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. I have the game also on CD and was hoping this "rework" would let me play this otherways great game again, sadly no.

Crashes first campaign mission

Fixed the lag issues, removed the lag, started the game without problems. After tutorial is done, first campaign mission starts, 5 minutes in and the game crashes. Tried several times, cant find any fixed for crashes, game is one of the best, if it doesn't crashed all the time. I have Windows 10.

GOG and steam version indeed unplayable

Steam version worked quite smoothly in compatibility mode before recent nvidia actualizations, after that it has huge fps drops. Gog version runs without a big lag but with a constant low fps rate. Both versions are not supported and not playable at all for now.
