Napoleonic wars epoch constitutes an extremely interesting and significant period in the history of Europe. Despite its short duration, it became a turning point in development of many nations.

Up to nowadays, there have been many contradictions around Napoleon's personality. Regarded on one side as a heartless tyrant who brought death and devastation and was sent by gods as retribution to humanity, he was however, a genius commander who made unification of Europe divided by various discords real as never before.

The game brings along six nations that played a leading role in the history of Napoleonic wars. These are France, Britain, Austria, Russia, Prussia and Egypt, with each country possessing its unique and peculiar abilities, architecture, development tree and military features.

Napoleonic period brought "civilized" warfare, fighting in combat formations into being. The very principle is put into practice in Cossacks II gameplay. Generally speaking, formations play a decisive role on the battlefields whereas individual units are mostly ineffective. Players are given a chance to lead their armies to victory through the pandemonium of epic battles with up to 64,000 units on the map, which is virtually the scale of real combats. What is more, ability to zoom in and soar upwards to get a bird's-eye view of the battle makes Cossacks II the most spectacular game on the Napoleonic era.

The game combines intuitive control, which is easy to learn even by a newbie and strategic niceties called to satisfy the needs of experienced RTS gamers. These include various types of troops, combat formations, morale, fatigue, experience and influence of such maneuvers as taking in the rear, outflanking, cavalry attack and artillery bombardment. This provides immense possibilities for brilliant victories through taking advantage of numerous tactical moves. Unit control was given a special attention. For this purpose, we designed a new interface, bookmark system, reworked on the path-finding algorithms, developed new AI for formations and enabled troops control through a commander-in-chief. Landscape also plays an important role in gameplay - fire-arms effectiveness reduces when firing through the woods, cavalry can hardly get over the marshy areas. The latter also diminishes efficacy of artillery bombardment. Armed with such tools and offering diversity of combat operations, Cossacks II can appease appetite of the most fastidious and scrupulous gamers.

Economic system underwent drastic changes as well. Players have to govern, develop and fight for towns and settlements built on the map. Towns and provinces are full of life and have their own infrastructure. Roads are economic arteries connecting different locations. Thus, apart from fighting, players can also impose an economic blockade to cut a capital from mineral deposits, trade routes, etc.

The single player game offers you unique opportunity to experience most known Napoleonic campaigns playing as a prominent figure and commander.

Tailor-made AI takes advantage of combat formations and tactical and strategic techniques that allows for "Battles" game mode against computer opponents.

Cossacks II multiplayer game offers two modes - classical Deathmatch and Battles with the latter reproducing real historical battles with possibility to change their outcome.

Even though Cossacks II is far from being a history textbook, it can recount a great deal of interesting historical facts from the Napoleonic period. Information suggested in the course of the game serves as unobtrusive hint to players. Storyline cutscenes, briefings before missions and campaigns help players get a full picture of the great Napoleon's attainments and conquests.
