Strategy games fans eagerly awaiting the launch of Cossacks: European Wars from CDV Software Entertainment can get a taste of the intense gameplay in a new video produced by CDV.
Available on the web, and also selected forthcoming magazine cover-disks, this MPG format video shows the progress of a game in the height of battle as well as extracts from the sumptuous introduction and cut-scenes.
Cossacks: European Wars depicts the colourful chaotic state of European allegiances in the 16th to 18th centuries. As mainland Europe resounded to the sounds of bloody battles, nations were created and fell, fortunes made and lost, and new military tactics were developed. It was war on an epic scale - and Cossacks: European Wars is the story of these wars and the men who waged them.
