Customer Review: great fight
Summary: 5 Stars
Bulid the best army you can and attack hard. This game is very real watch your get picked off one by one, then send in the marines to help beat down your emeny. Oh yea dont forget to defend your base. This game is based in the American 1790's era muskets that dont have very strond power. No michine guns no lazer weapons and no cheats . This game is a real War game. Build your best amry and win.Customer Review: if you like battles, ...... if you like massive battles o ya
Summary: 5 Stars
first of all this game kicks the ... out of any other game out there but dont get it unless you have a gamming platform that can hold anything.y you ask...hmm.. well it might be becuase you have realistic graphics cool music, o and armies of up tp 16,000 people and awsomly realistic ships.this game isnt for you if you dont have patience though many of my games take about 8 hours but thats 8 hours filled with heart pounding kaick a battles, only bad thing is that some stuff is a little cheap but still its an awsomly realistaic game and worth your money and time.Customer Review: Awesome.
Summary: 4 Stars
I was very pleased with this game. It offered a very satisfying pop cap and playable features, like massed firing by ranks(not availble in any RTS game, not even Cossacks) and Bayonet charges(which only Cossacks had also.) The game is more realistic with flagbearers and drummers. Officers are very powerful units in hand-to-hand fighting, and Cavalry are the only units that can defeat Unit formations of 196. All buildings are capable of shooting enemy units, except mines. The only thing that botheredd me in the game that there is no diplomacy, you rule every nation as a Communist Dictator with totalatarian power, unintended mistake, but when you look at it, thats how you rule your civilians.Customer Review: Put aside almost any other RTS game
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are currently playing, and having a lot of fun, with some of the following: .- Cossacks European Wars and/or Cossacks The Art of War (I know there is another Cossacks sequel, but never played it)
.- Empire Earth and/or Empire Earth - The Art of Conquest
.- Stronghold and/or Stronghold Crusader
.- Praetorians
.- Legion
.- War & Peace
.- Seven Kingdoms I & II
.- No Man's Land
.- Age of Empires and/or AOE Rise of Rome and/or AOE II Age of Kings and/or AOE II The Conquerors
Stop playing, go shopping and get ACFB, if you liked "Cossacks" (any version) a lot, you'll fall for this game.
Let put it this way, "Cossacks" is an animated, cartoon film. ACFB is a real full fledged movie.
Is true you need some hardware strengh, but in the Cossacks' way. No that much as AOE II, which, playing against the computer, with 400-500 units both sides, you always know when your foe is going to attack you because ... when it's setting its army the computer doesn't let you play !!
My Athlon 1 GHZ, 512 MB of RAM and NVIDIA GForce 2 PCI 32 MB video card, plays Cossacks, Empire Earth, Stronghold, Praetorians and War & Peace fast, very responsive to the mouse at 1024 x 768 x 16. The new ACFB is just playable, I just won my first single map, fighting (going North from Florida) with Spaniards against Brittons, with more than 3,000 units both sides.
For the first moment you get impressed by this game. When you see in the screen the first bunch of peasants, waiting for your orders, they are wandering and fooling around just like any real workers squad without a supervisor !!
The design, accuracy and realism of the buildings is amazing. The same for landscape: trees, terrain, rocks.
At $30.00, it's a steal.
Customer Review: one of the best historical war-strategy games
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a stand-alone add-on to the American Conquest (so you don't need actual AC - it's included), sequel to Russian-built Cossacks.New features (copied but edited from developers site):
- new "Battlefield" mode: 20 battles for single - and multi-player
- 40 new buildings and over 50 new units
- 8 campaigns consisting of 25 new missions in total Global rating system
- 10 new single missions
- 17 different nations and tribes, including 5 new ones: Russia, the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal Haida
- Game events covering the period of 1517 to 1804
- Map 4X zooming in-out.
The rest I think is the same as AC.
Game didn't have any "hype" in the US, so it's almost unknown (except among those who played Cossacks).
Good solid war-strategy game. History is as accurate as it could be in the game (probably the most accurate out there). Graphics are very good with some minor glitches (like soldiers walking through the trees). Music is somewhat annoying, but other sounds are Ok.
Truth in battle - a group of soldiers is nothing (dead in 5 sec) comparing to the unit of soldiers of the same size (no Terminators); moral influences units fighting ability; height somewhat counts to the range of fire.
Multiplayer,.. oh well - if you live by European time you can find some really good players, but learn some russian :)
