Cossacks 3 (PC, 2016) - Super Quick Match VS 2 Normal CPU
66This is a very fast, easy "Random Map" match against two Normal difficulty CPU alongside another Normal CPU ally. I thought it would be harder than it was. The map type was "Coastal", with "Rich" mine deposits and "Thousands" of initial resources, plus "Start With Balloon" (see full map).
Cossacks 3 was released in 2016 and is essentially a modern remaster of the very first Cossacks: European Wars that released in 2000 (plus the Art of War and Back to War expansions). 3D models, new shaders, and anisotropic filtering give the familiar buildings, units, and terrain an improved look, but otherwise it is the exact same game. The campaign mode may be all new, but the gameplay and hotkeys remain mostly unchanged from the first game. Some unit and building upgrades have been tweaked to cost more or less in an effort to better balance the gameplay, and there are new nations and DLC for download. The AI is improved as well, with a new Impossible difficulty setting for the CPU.
