I struggled a lot with this game's controls and how hard it is to click on enemies who are moving - A for attackmoving is a thing in the game, they mow down every enemy on their go. (also in my experience archers are fantastic against buildings, they are better to be mixed with a pikeman frontline than granadiers when you want to take down buildings as a priority)
39:13 a dead enemy peasant killed by your navy? Is that why the AI hadn't surrendered yet? Anyway..it's great to see someone still plays this awesome game. GG
Yea, the Victory ship is what you were talking about at the end. First you need to upgrade the speed of ships, and then you are able to upgrade your Ship Of The Line. And its crazy as fuck. The ultimate weapon.
I use to play 1 vs 6 very hard. The game becomes easy as soon as you figure out peasant production as fast as possible is key. 500-700 peasants was common for a single game. 18th century within the first 5-7 minutes. All wood, stone and food production upgrades is priority.
Hello love your video's keep it up! I can't get this game to work on my PC with windows 10 probably because of the age of the game. Did you do anything special to fix that or did it just work for you?
I had to set compatibility mode (windows xp sp 3) and 8 bit colours for dmcr.exe (..\Cossacks Back to War\bin). Since then I can play hours without any issue.
very hard AI? i wonder what game i was playing back in the day against what kind of AI difficulty.... even with a friend we didn't manage to stop a single hardest AI on island maps in this game. while we both only produced ships to destroy the enemies transport ships, the ai was still able to overcome us at a certain point and spearwalled us to death. it was a ridiculous game. on land - not winable without cheats.
What's the difference between european wars and back to war? I had european wars demo back in the day and later got cossacks back to war on CD and I couldn't tell the difference or I was just too young since I was like 7-9 at the time
You have to defend towers and yes you can capture them also..... if he does not defend them. I still like this better than Cossacks 3.....Plays better to me.
@@6StimuL84 I had Divided Nations too but it was way too cut down (ex: diversity of buildings, units from factions, etc.) compared to American Conquest and it's expansion Fight Back. All these 3 are in some way a reskin of Cossacks, though.
Hmmm... Why do you only upgrade one gold mine? does it have any bonus when you put more workers in one mine? Otherwise you could just upgrade other gold mines for better capacity with cheaper price. Other than that everything was ok
Man, no offense but your singing 6:03 is atrocious hahaha. Last time when you were singing AoM soundtracks, I know them by heart and I couldn't even recognize it. Thanks for the video anyway, it's nice to see that game is back ! I always loved it, I think it's the best looking RTS ever.
I will win against you if there will be half an hour peace time and that will be easier if you will play with Turkey even if you will have 4 very hard AI in your team!!!
It depends on your PC it seems, not on OS. It doesn't run on my lenovo b590 but it did run on an older asus laptop flawlessly, both times under win 10.
24:00 towers can be captured when being upgraded, just like mines
Sardinia-Piedmonte is the country that unified Italy
Piemonte is in North-West Italy: its main city is Turin
And has united Italy!

Using the market is key. Many ways to use it stone the best

it just worked for me through Steam without a problem

They seem to have nerfed the AI difficulty in back to war. You played cosacks european wars i guess.

Try American Conquest, it's the sucessor of Cossacks
@@Adri9570 I actually have the Divided Nations version, which is great.... Hard to find another working copy of it anywhere.

Lol no way this game man!!! Very similar AoE thanks for the upload
In aoe units is limited, here is not
This match vs very hard can be won with early spearman and agression on enemy and under 5 minutes it's over :D
But yeah nostlagia got us bro

Greetings from Turkey :D
Can u play empire earth II
you have said i am going to rush about 8 times. get on with it
144 n 360 ¿? ¿?
is this the cossacks where your units can turn against you if you don't have enough resources? or is this with every cossacks game?
yeah this is the one but that also applies to other cossacks
@@StrategyGameVideos ah i see. thanks :)
@@im_Sarma Yes, but only mercenaries which need gold to maintain on your side. Standard units never turn against you.
@@dondacic Oh okay, i never understood the game as a child so yeah.. thought every fucker turned against me cause I sucked haha
@@dondacic -Ships too. Lost more than one game when I ran out of gold and crews mutinied.
7:32 same man 🤣🤣
Also a question came to mind when watching your vids, how come you never produce any musketeers? Always pikemen? Just curious
Would like to download, can someone help me?
Alive!

Isn't cossacks 3 shit?

I will win against you if there will be half an hour peace time
and that will be easier if you will play with Turkey
even if you will have 4 very hard AI in your team!!!
Shame this game does not run on Windows 10 :(
for me (windows 10) the game runs fine through Steam
Otherwise try Cossacks 3

set compatibility mode to windows xp sp 3 and 8 bit colours for dmcr.exe - solved it for me!
@@mikeeisenberg8244 Thank you for your answer. Any chance you are using the GOG version?
Download method
Steam? There is also something on github called cossacks-revamp-2017 - but not sure how trustworthy it is.
