Summary
Cossacks II: Napoleonic Wars is the fourth installment in the Cossacks series of real-time strategy games, launched in Spring 2005 and met with a range of critical responses. The game is set entirely during the Napoleonic era, resulting in a more limited time frame compared to other entries in the series, which often covered multiple centuries. As a result, the number of available technologies for research is reduced, and each nation offers fewer unit types than in previous titles. However, Cossacks II compensates with the ability to field large armies, a variety of tactical choices, and an enhanced graphical engine.
