  1. A splendid game. The pathing issues do incur a degree of frustration, but never enough to drop kick your monitor into next door’s garden.
  2. Features detailed gameplay, massive battles, and lots of historical depth.
  3. AC is a first-class resource pig, despite its 2D origins. With no way to adjust detail, you need a mighty rig to runit when the screen is filled with warring units. [Apr 2003, p.104]

    One of the best rts games to date. Unfortunately the learning curve can be rather steep for some so I recommend playing the original cossacks first. Very realistic though, and even includes morale and experience. Expand
