Vive L'Empereur !

Well, Cossacks isn't exactly a grand strategy game. It's more in the line of being an RTS.

What did you not like about Cossacks? I have been told that it is a good game and that I should buy it. Is it worth the $?

I do not know where to start. But my question is, who told you it was a good game?

Uhmmm a good game... that's the point ..
I´ve been playing wargames for 20 years (hope it becames 60 more [:'(]) and it is hard too say whats a good game ...
To me a good game is the one that every time you play it, the game changes, i mean, i dont like linear games where you have to follow always the same steeps to win ... I enjoy those who become a new game every time you play it ... and of course closest to real life as possible BUT not making an impossiblerulebooktokeepinmindgame ... thats why EiA has become one of the greatest, not because it is a Napoleonic simulation... but because you cant control your destiny ...

Hey all:

EiA is the ultimate game where your friends/enemies can determine your fate more so than your amies! The humans end up being the random number generator and make the game different. Play with different people or mix up the countries and you'll see an almost totally different game!

Good game. Original rules tend to be a little vauge and open to much interpretation (believe me I know this now

My 2 cents...

Yes and Im glad there is going to be a PC version of this game, cause I see too much talk about the rules and not enough action with play, by the boardgame version. I just want the bloody game tommorrow, if that ok [:D]

Thanks, I guess I will stay away from this one. However, my friend was not too far off, because he told me about Europa Universalis and that is a really good game.
