Three epic-scaled real-time strategies, thousands of fearless warriors.

Cossacks Anthology, a robust collection of three historically accurate and complex RTS games that give you command over up to 8 000 units on the battlefield, is available 60% off today on GOG.com. That's only $2.39 for the next 24 hours!

Most of you probably aren't familiar with the Cossacks--the nation itself, not the phenomenal games series--so here's a fun fact for you. The historical eastern-slavic warriors mainly resided in Ukraine, Poland's immediate neighboring country. For that reason, the word "Cossack" is commonly used in Polish language and it has one particular meaning: bad-ass. Polish people hold the valiant horse-riding nation in such high esteem that whenever they want to express awe and admiration for someones daring deeds or simply applaud their bravado, they will say: "man, you're such a Cossack!". Pair disregard of fear with strategic brilliance, ruthlessness in battle, and jovial, fun-loving demeanor, and you have a nation sure to become the stuff of legends. Now, you can lead those incredible men into battle in three epic RTS games!

Cossacks Anthology combines classic real-time strategy gameplay with great attention to historical detail and a remarkable scale of virtual battlefield. The series is known for giving the player command of thousands of units at a time. With large-scaled, elaborate maps and accurate historical scenarios featured in these games will really make you feel the flames of war burning. The original campaigns can give you dozens of hours of challenging gameplay, but if that's not enough you can always use the scenario editor and random map generator to extend your game indefinitely. For such a prize, this amazing collection is a must-have for all RTS fans!

The sound of thousands of hardened warriors furiously rushing into battle will fill your ears as soon as you get Cossacks Anthology, for only $2.39 on GOG.com. The offer lasts until Tuesday, May 28, at 9:59AM GMT.

F4LL0UT: Awesome game. The campaigns suck and vary heavily in quality and style but skirmish is absolutely epic.

Crosmando: In it can you "hire" (build) mercenaries from a market type building, and they drain gold, but if you run out of gold they go crazy and start shooting your peasants?
avatar
F4LL0UT: That's the one.

011284mm: I would be more interested if GOG could get the STALKER series here.
avatar
F4LL0UT: Same developer but different publisher. I don't even know what happened to the franchise after THQ went down, all I heard was some legal dispute between some German company and GSC Gameworld.
That is a real shame.
I keep waiting to play the STALKER games without the need for CD changes or the SecurRom from GG. I really hope that some kind or arrangement can be made as I really enjoyed the first two (have, but not finished CoP). Was looking forward to STALKER 2 before it was cancelled.
Long time waited sale! Anyone can tell this edition has skirmish/random map mode? Campaign must be good, but I more prefer the skirmish, infinite playtime! :D

From what I know, that one was made by some other company or published by some other company and now the rights to that particular game are lost. I don't remember the details, but this is a reason why it's not sold anywhere at this moment.

But not having Cossacks 2 here is some bullshit.

Aaand yeah. Sounds bad. In that case, I hope they'll find something to deal and bring us everything... like they did with System Shock 2. I'll wait patiently anyways (actually, NOT >:E).
