    This game is a perfect old time rts. Cossacks 2 bfe has all what a strategy loving player needs. You have fast economy (building your base in 10 minutes). Massive battles with over 5000 units!!! Perfect tactics, units have formations, morale, stamina.
    Realistic terrain tactics, like trees make you lose accuracy, you cant shoot over building (only artillery), standing on highland increases    This game is a perfect old time rts. Cossacks 2 bfe has all what a strategy loving player needs. You have fast economy (building your base in 10 minutes). Massive battles with over 5000 units!!! Perfect tactics, units have formations, morale, stamina.
    Realistic terrain tactics, like trees make you lose accuracy, you cant shoot over building (only artillery), standing on highland increases the range of your units, units can lose formation and be forced to flee. Each unit can either shoot and reload or fight melee.
    Realistic economy, shooting is based on resources, you have to have coal to reload. Units can die if you have no food. To get resources you have to defeat and control villages, resources are delivered by mules which gives another tactical advantage.

    Overall i rate this game 10/10 because it is military/tactic focused. Graphic has practically no requirements. Gives you massive battles and lots of tactical possibilities.

    Minus:
    Single player - AI is plain stupid
    Multiplayer - very few players

    Buy this game, and tell your friends to buy it too, get more players because this game is worth saving!

    That's the heaven for the old good strategy games lovers. A simple and nice graphic for massive battle and great tactics that overcome the classical logic of the normal RTS. Absolutely worth to try.

    Great game the best part is the battle for Europe this mode is very enjoyable. The historic battle are fun and challenging the campaign is descent the biggest flaw is that AI some times makes rather retarded decisions but usually it is good.

    Battle for Europe is a detailed and historically accurate look at the age of grand armies of Europe and the classic clash of Empires. While not offering anything particularly new or groundbreaking it succeeds in providing an entertaining and thoughtful strategy game for those tired of meaningless tank rushes.

    As far as we’re concerned, as much as we love the Cossacks series and the thinking-man’s gameplay behind it, we do think it’s time to move on in terms of technology. Cruel, but kind.

    At the heart of it, the experience is pretty much identical to that of last year's game.
