Great game, but it crashes all the time and is very unstable. Don't buy this through steam, buy it through GOG instead. They actually patch games to be stable.

Cossacks 3 has neither the grandeur of Total War or the pace of AoE but wants to compete with both games. The result is a sluggish build-up of military forces to send to slaughter in an anti-climatic pathfinding
