Cossacks sucks (for those of you who want justification) because it is so broken. The computer AI cheats more than in any other game because they hardly spent any time programming it. The campaigns are terrible (tho' I'm not a big fan of "hero" based scenarios where you start with a certain number of troops and must preserve them to win the game). Cannon and towers cannot shoot over walls and have a sucky minimum range that you can't research away. There's lots more wrong with this game, but I don't want to keep typing. [img]smile.gif[/img]

If you start out with a number of soldiers and can't make any new ones, isn't the challenge much bigger that way ? It works the same way in Sudden Strike and i think that's a great game too. I also played Empire Earth and didn't like that game as much Cossacks. It's a good thing people have different tastes, don't you think ?
