Strat Games

I was thinking of trying Cossacks 2 but there were many mixed reviews and about 80% of the reviews I read said that the game was rubbish. But as I have already learnt you can't always trust the reviews. I've got the original Cossacks and that was ok for it's time. I might give Cossacks 2 a try.

@ slug for a butt, Please inform me of you opinions of Cossacks 2 if and when you get it please mate.

Cossacks 2's biggest problem is it's steep system requirments, 512 megs of ram and 1.5 GHz cpu as a minimum. With 768 megs of ram and 2.5 Ghz cpu recomemded. But if you put the game on lower resolution and not so good animations it will run smoothly. Just don't get it's 1.1 patch it breaks skirmish mode. Then you can enjoy the TW-esque (but not a clone of) game play style.

Yeah i'm hoping eather to get Cossacks 2 or Knights of Honour, i will keep you posted on how good they are...bTW has anybody played American Conquest, by the same guys as Cossacks?

I have both the original American Conquest and the stand alone X-pack Fight back. And I would say get fight back. It has 1 new native tribe, the Haida. Also 4 new eruopean nations. Russia, Germany, Portugal, and the Dutch.
