'Cossacks 3' Adds Steam Workshop Support

by Rainier on Feb. 3, 2017 @ 3:54 a.m. PST

Cossacks 3 is the latest installment in the real time strategy franchise, recreating the original experience with up to date graphics, mod tools and a new story.

This remake of the classic game, that originally launched in 2000, contains all of the elements that distinguish the successful Cossacks games and combines them with contemporary 3D-graphics. Cossacks 3 provides the player with infinite tactical options, including not only the construction of buildings, the production of raw materials, but also the broad selection of various units and the influence of the landscape.

Twelve nations, 70 different unit types, 100 research opportunities, and over 140 different historical buildings are available to the player. Besides the battles ashore, players can build an armada and attack their enemies at sea. Cossacks 3 offers five historic single player-campaigns and up to eight players can fight each other in multiplayer-mode on one map. The player can forge alliances with or against others as well as challenge the computer. Randomly generated maps provide endless variations and can be adapted to the gamer’s needs.

Cossacks 3 received a grand update, which opened the doors of the Steam Workshop to the Cossacks' fans.

With help of The Steam Workshop players will be able to create, share, download and discuss mods with the whole playerbase of Cossacks 3, bringing the mod scene to a completely new level. From now on the evergrowing library of mods for Cossacks 3 will be available to every Steam user, with dozens of mods available and the new ones arriving on a daily basis.

We’ve also updated the game and our trusty Cossacks 3 Mod Manager, so now they are fully intertwined with the Workshop and provide the best possible service to our players.

Players are now able to:

  1. Browse, upload, follow, discuss and subscribe to available mods straight from Steam Workshop, with help of the updated Cossacks 3 Mod manager.
  2. Edit and modify installed mods with help of the extended Cossacks 3 Mod Manager.
  3. Update and synchronize their mods with room hosts from within the game, eliminating the need to manually sync the versions.

We also have some exciting news for Mac and Linux users: on 15th of March Cossacks 3 will become available on MacOS and Linux platforms! Venture forth onto the battlefields of the 17th-18th century Europe and enjoy the polished Cossacks experience with your friends, regardless of what platform you're using - the game supports crossplatform play and allows you to battle other generals across all platforms.

As a bonus, every Mac & Linux user that purchases and logins into the game during the first two week after the release will receive an Early Bonus package, identical to the one given out during the Windows release.
