Got all of the cossacks games but still return to this version.

Dec. 2025

This is an old game and a simple format - easy to play but with a challenge. You get to build towns, armies etc, defend them and attack your enemies. Graphically it could be better but later in this series they did make the graphics better but it was more difficult to play and to build armies and weapons etc. The pace of Art of War, for the most part allows the player the time to prepare for war. ts a great way to pass the time without being frantic. A no stress game which sustains your interest and you get to fire at other ships and to blow up biuliding with cannons.

I play art of war because my back to war has a frozen cursor on steam. no one seems to be able to clear it.

Used to play this game as a kid I must have 1k+ hours in these series. Pretty unique and rare as not many games that take place in the muskets century.
