![]() ![]() Still, I expect to have help be a little more… helpful. If you have a grain of sense you will be able to figure production out through experimentation and common sense, as European War 3 isn’t exactly rocket science. The tutorial depicts a generalized notion of how to move and fight, but all in very vague and ungrammatical language that I found unsatisfactory for its purpose. Touch each area and you will find these two values there.” Okay, that almost made sense, but it doesn’t tell me what factors have to change to improve these numbers. what? Current industrial capacity? Technological level? This is a bit confusing, however, the tutorial does go on to say (sic) “Basically, they come from output of our cities and industrial zone. I assume that’s telling me that the dollar amount is our current treasury and the wrench is. One a dollar sign followed by a number, the other a wrench followed by a number. Here is production and industry value we got” followed by a tiny finger pointing to two very tiny indicators on the top left. Production and Industry is the main support for our battle. I get annoyed at bad grammar lapses in the tutorial modules of any game-because really, isn’t this supposed to be one of the selling points of a production? An example (sic): “First of all. Where to start? The help and tutorial seems like a logical starting point. I’m trying to be even-handed here, but regrettably there were some features of this game that I did not like. You only have a certain level of industrial capacity which will limit what you can build per turn, but this can be increased by investing in technology and economic output instead of new units. If you wish to build infantry units, for example, you touch the infantry card and a series of arrows will point towards the industrial centers on the map you want them to appear. This is handled with virtual cards that give your side build orders and industrial centers that where the unit will show up when produced. Like many games in this particular genre niche, European War 3 has a rudimentary production economy to replace fallen units and build up for aggressive campaigns. ![]() Units need to an amphibious capability to cross water, which has to be built using CARRIERS-in this game, they carry people, cavalry and artillery, not airplanes. Battles are resolved by rolling a handful of dice, with modifiers added and subtracted for existing losses, terrain, and area improvements (such as entrenchments and defensive artillery). No matter who is stacked in an area, units attack each other one at a time and defend the same way. If there are enemy units in the region, a battle ensues. If there are now units of an opposing force in the region, the region is captured. Units move from adjacent region to adjacent region, if the move is within their movement allowance. Each region starts the game with a control flag of the various historical powers represented in the game. Armies are icons of various troop types with different attack and defense statistics, the map is divided into several geographic areas allowing for point to point movement. European War 3 is a strategic level war game, of sorts, that resembles the board game AXIS AND ALLIES in many respects. The game system is arranged to reduce per-unit control and resource micromanagement, and to turn to global goals of powerful economy formation, science development, the capturing of new lands, and defending borders.I wasn’t a huge fan of European War 1 but I decided to give this a try because I like the historical time period loosely covered by this installment of the European War series, which is roughly mid-19th century to World War I. One can carry out lingering city sieges, wage guerilla wars, capture commanding heights and arrange ambushes, deploy landing forces on enemy shores, and conduct sea battles. ![]() Thus, England is the mightiest sea power, Austria has powerful light and heavy cavalry, and Cossacks are the pride of the Ukrainian army.īattles of up to 8,000 units may be conducted on single or network game maps. Each has its own original graphics, economic and technical development peculiarities, military advantages and drawbacks, and unique units and technologies, providing vast choices of tactics and strategy in war against any enemy. ![]() There are 16 nations or regions in Cossacks: Algeria, Austria, England, France, the Netherlands, Piemonte, Poland, Portugal, Prussia, Russia, Saxony, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine, and Venice. Cossacks: European Wars is a historical real-time strategy based on events of the 16th through the 18th centuries in Europe, when nations and states were created and demolished, and wars shed seas of blood. ![]()
