Natively supports x, if the game runs too slow or too fast just adjust the game speed slider in the game. Mine was perfect by default about 4 squares from the right.

The owner can apply peasant power to rebuild a building. Create an officer and a drummer in your barracks and group your infantry into formations, then control them by clicking the officer, who serves as the conduit for all movement orders for the soldiers who are part of that formation.

This introduces realistic period maneuvering that resembles true formation tactics and drill. There are only three formations, however -- rank, column and square columns not for fast marching, but as an attack formation.

The fine points of drill are not left to the player "Wheel left! Inexplicably, formations can be made using groups of certain numbers that seem to have no discernible pattern or relevance -- 15, 36, 96, Formations can only be made in the designated denominations. So for instance, if you have 14 Janissaries, you can't form them up until you make one more.

If you have between 17 and 35 of them, you'll be able to make one formation of 15 and the others will go unorganized. The leftovers can be thought of as replacements, perhaps. Hint: work these odd units into the formation after it has taken losses by moving them close to it, disbanding the formation and then re-forming it.

The concept of supply is introduced though not that of supply lines in that you must have iron and coal representing the manufacturing of shot and powder stockpiled in order for muskets and cannon to shoot. If your stock of these materials is exhausted, your forces may become helpless in the face of the enemy. Your diplomatic center can provide bought-and-paid-for units that will work for you as long as your gold supply holds out.

Though this may not be realistic for such items as coal or gold, this is more game practical in that these resources are, to an extent, an abstraction representing many other resources of fuel and metals. More appreciated is the fact that the wood is not exhausted. Trees grow back. Also, building the mill automatically provides many self-replenishing amber waves of grain for food you still must assign peasants to work them , visually adding to the game and saving the player the need to rebuild farms.

Choose Multiplayer from the main menu. If your machine is connected to the Internet, choose "Internet games" from the menu and you're transported to an anonymous "master server" hosting games being played by Cossacks fans from around the world. At the time of this writing exactly Eastern US on 17 May there were 27 players online. Later on the number went up to Be aware that these kinds of servers are wide open.

There is no usage policy or stated rules, so be prepared for some standard, uncivil Internet behavior and crude language. The game played well when tested on our little two-node wireless Symphony LAN.

However, again, the multiplayer historical scenario played had no information about goals in the game and ended without a clear message about which side had prevailed. The graphics are clear and detailed. It's not difficult to differentiate between and among the units. The landscape is well defined. It looks like great effort went into creating individualized architectural styles for each of the cultures represented. Players will appreciate the pleasant appearance.

Animations are varied and smooth. As usual, there is a loop of somewhat overbearing music that can be disabled once you're sick of it. When you do, you can put on something like Schubert's Piano Trio in E flat featured in the film Barry Lyndon, whose main character participates in the Seven Years War of , Carmina Burana or some other appropriate piece to enhance your local playing atmosphere.

Other game sounds include the birds in the trees, the peasants working at their tasks and a loud drummer that drums while the formations march, as well as the usual battle sounds. The Tutorial campaign is useful, though some of the text is extraneous and downright senseless, perhaps having been translated from a language other than English. Use the tutorial to learn the game and the manual for reference about the buildings and units.

The manual does have some interesting historical information, as does the online encyclopedia.
