Udgiveren CDV er i slutningen af oktober klar med den seneste udvidelse til deres RTS-spil Cossacks. Den nye “expansion pack” med den lidet originale titel – Cossacks – Back to War – byder på mere af det samme som man først fandt i Cossacks og senest, Cossacks – The Art of War. Vi er i dag klar med en pressemeddelelse samt seks dugfriske screenshots for de mest ihærdige fans af Cossacks-spillene.
COSSACKS STRIKE BACK
Massive add-on to bring joy to Cossacks fans new and old
Fans of the mega smash hit Cossacks and its add-on Cossacks – The Art of War are in for a treat this October, when CDV releases its greatest expansion pack to date: Cossacks – Back to War. Best of all, gamers will not need an original copy of the game as Back to War will either run as a standalone title, or integrate itself into players’ current Cossacks configuration.
Cossacks is a real-time strategy phenomenon, having sold over 500,000 units since its original release. The game allows players to command vast armies – up to 8,000 units per map – in authentic historical warfare, set between the 16th and 18th Centuries.
Featuring over 100 new single player missions, Cossacks – Back to War offers over two and a half as many levels as its previous iteration. It also introduces two new nations into the battle – Switzerland and Hungary – offering established players totally new strategic choices. But the fun’s not over once this century of maps has been exhausted; a random terrain generator offers almost infinite replayability – just tweak the preferred variables such as map size, AI level, etc. – whilst the sophisticated map editor allows players to easily design campaigns to spec. As a bonus, ‘Mod1’, created by one of the game’s most ardent fans, is included, offering a further 30 playable maps, with a unique set of units.
Multiplayer fans are in for joy, too. Back to War introduces a new VIZOR system, which allows players to watch multiplayer games in progress, picking up addition tips from real-life competitors. An Automated Championship System (ACS) promotes individual Cossacks tournaments as well as hosting a worldwide ranking system which will list the best players in the world.
Cossacks – Back to War will work with the original Cossacks game or as a standalone title, meaning more players than ever before will be able to enjoy the brilliant Cossacks world.
It will be published by CDV Software Entertainment UK for PC CD-ROM during October 2002, priced £19.99.
