    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.

    Offers plenty of single-player campaigns, plus skirmish and multiplayer maps and a good history lesson to boot.

    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 out there. Once you get the hang of the gameplay, you'll be pwning everything in sight. A few things that are absolutely fricking amazing is the fact you can play while editing a scenario, and the fact you can have THOUSANDS of troops on the battlefield at one time. Battles between 2000 British and Americans, attempting to reenact a Revolutionary War battle? Yes please.… Expand

    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

    It's too bad this game is so obscure. I'd love to see another. Great strategy, thousands of troops at a time, realistic environments and fortification technques (but why aren't there walls? it really had potential there). I just wish the learning curve wasn't so steep and that the buildings had purpose in place of novelty as they sometimes do.… Expand
