Cossacks: European Wars

Real-time strategy set across 17th and 18th century Europe, focusing on large-scale warfare and economic management. You pick from sixteen nations—each with distinct architecture, tech trees, and unit rosters—then balance food production against military buildup. Missions recreate historical conflicts, and the standout feature is unit cap: you can field hundreds or even thousands of soldiers simultaneously, far beyond what contemporaries allowed. Resource gathering covers basics like wood and gold, while construction lets you fortify positions. An in-game encyclopedia covers the era's history. If you want grand battles where cavalry charges involve actual hundreds of horsemen rather than a symbolic dozen, this delivers that scope.
