No matter how wonderful the feeling of nostalgia for games is, let it remain only in your head. Otherwise, it’s hard to look at some new projects made according to verified canons without pain. Either there are bugs up to the neck, or the balance is lame on both legs and arms. So what happened to the Cossacks?? Now we’ll find out.
Cossacks 3

I agree with the verdict, it was necessary to call something like Cossacks: HD or Cossacks: Return of the Legend, but not Cossacks 3
In this case, as Comrade Jozheg said, there was no need to add the number 3 in the title. It seems to me that there is some miscalculation in the field of marketing. This damn figure immediately positions the game in people’s heads as a continuation. And people, accordingly, are waiting for the development of the concept, and not just repetition. And the words spoken by the developers in interviews will not change anything, at least because not all of these interviews have been seen.
Well, in the game this is the Zaporozhye Sich/Hetmanate, “Ukraine” conditionally. In the 17th century it was just a force to be reckoned with. Its own court, army, church – what is not a country?
And no, before the partition of Poland it was not completely. And are you generally aware of the UPR??
What difference does it make to https://rainbow-spins.uk/bonus/ me as a consumer what they said somewhere?? The game is called Cossacks 3, I buy Cossacks 3 and what do I see?
They want a discount because Grigorovich and a former cleaning lady from GSC work for them – let them give a discount on their buggy remastered. They sell for the price of The Witcher 3, with bugs to the hilt, and even without 18th century ships, half the countries, map sizes, balance and a million other things – they get well-deserved ratings.
If I’m not mistaken, the game is about the period when the Zaporozhye Cossacks, led by Bohdan Khmelnytsky, rebelled against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (roughly Poland) and formed their own state, the Hetmanate. Later, Khmelnitsky accepted Russian citizenship. As a result, after a fairly long war between Russia and Poland (1654 – 1667), during which a split occurred within the Getmashchyna, Left Bank Ukraine found itself as part of Russia, and Right Bank Ukraine became part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. And for a long time (until 1764) the Hetmanate retained fairly broad autonomy, although it was part of Russia.
In this case, it seems to me, there was no need to put the number 3. In order, firstly, not to create the illusion of continuation and development, and secondly, to distance ourselves from the second part. In my opinion, it was necessary to emphasize in the title that this is a return to the roots of the original game, just in an improved wrapper.
Is it really necessary to know that there is a whole series?? I just see it this way: a person sees the number three in the title and starts looking for information about the first two parts in order to get an idea of the series. And what does he find?? The second part is very different from the first. In such a situation, it is logical to assume that the third, especially taking into account the passage of time, will contain some kind of development and change in ideas. Moreover, most likely it will build on its development from the second part. To me, this is more than logical. And in this context, the player’s expectations really are not met. Let me emphasize once again, in my opinion, this is simply not entirely correct positioning, a purely marketing miscalculation.
The balance was the same in the first one -_- but still not so critical
It’s a shame that even though it’s a remake, some of the features weren’t carried over (map size, desert)
The most important thing. Drummers don’t drum constantly as they move =(
I personally didn’t catch the Cossacks at the time of their exit. At that time I was playing other strategies) Tzar (we have Fire and Sword) and War and Peace (and the sequel The Second Crown). Damn it, I still play them calmly) But having tried these Cossacks, I unfortunately don’t see anything special in them ((I probably should have done this on time. But on the other hand, it’s good that RTS come to life a little bit)
It’s a shame that because of the number 3 in the title, everyone thinks that this is a continuation of the series, they are waiting for development and give ratings based on this. It’s just that from the very first day the developers said that it would be a remake on a new engine and never promised anything else. And in the end the rating was lowered for something that, in principle, was not worth waiting for, because no one promised such a thing.
Come on? The deluxe edition costs the same as the mentioned Witcher 3 – $20. True, the regular edition costs less – $12.5. But still, there’s no need to talk about it here. Remake for the price of the full game – Ubisoft-level marketing (Heroes 3 HD).
