Announces Cossacks II: Battle for Europe Expansion

 It’s time for a return to 19th century
Europe, as CDV will publish Cossacks II: Battle for Europe this June. The
stand-alone expansion for the popular PC RTS, Cossacks II: Napoleonic Wars, will
feature three new nations, along with a variety of new battlegrounds, campaigns
and battle scenarios, both historical and hypothetical. For more information,

In development by GSC Game World, Cossacks II:
Battle for Europe will build upon the realism of the original game, along with
adding a variety of new gameplay features. In the game, players can choose from
nine nations, including three new additions – Spain, the Great Duchy of Warsaw
and the Rhine Confederation. Additionally, 10 new battlefields, four new
campaigns, six new skirmish missions and three new historical battles (Waterloo,
Leipzig and Borodino) will offer an expanded Cossacks experience in both single-
and multiplayer play. An improved A.I. will let players develop deep strategies
utilizing real-world formations made famous during the Napoleonic Wars. New
enhancements to the Battle for Europe mode will have fans playing the role of
economist, diplomat and general to become the supreme ruler of 19th century
Europe. Battle for Europe, Battle and Skirmish modes will all be playable online
over LAN or the Internet.
