Peasants, or serfs, can collect wood and stone, which are stored in storehouses. Each village can collect one of the four resources: coal, iron, gold, and food. In order to capture it, a group of men must be moved near the center of the village. To capture a village, one, sometimes two, group(s) of thirty militiamen must be destroyed. The human player begins by choosing a country with which to play, and then attempts to defeat the computer player's nation, by trying to capture all of the villages on the map, or by destroying all of the enemy's town centers. In Skirmish mode, a map is chosen, and a fight begins in a Real-Time environment, reminiscent of Age of Empires II. At first, only infantry can be used, then light infantry, engineers, and cavalry are allowed, followed by artillery, and finally elite infantry and cavalry. As promotions are earned, more units become available, and better ones may be unlocked.
Over time, player experience improves, depending on the number of battles fought. Players have a single army to command, which can be ordered across Europe on a turn-based scale. The 2006 expansion, Cossacks 2: Battle for Europe, also includes Spain, the Duchy of Warsaw and the Confederation of the Rhine. With one of these, players attempt to conquer Europe. In Battle for Europe mode, 6 nations are playable: France, Russia, Prussia, Austria, Egypt, and Great Britain. In multiplayer, players can play a game over the internet.
In single player, three different modes may be played: campaign (tutorial), Battle for Europe (turn-based, much like Risk), and Skirmish/Historical Battles. In the game, there are two different modes, single-player, and multi-player. Only the Total War series can come close to this number, with ten thousand being the maximum number of soldiers usable at a time. The limit of soldiers that can be used at the same time is 64,000, a large number compared to other real-time strategy video games. The Cossacks series has always been noted for having a large number of units on screen simultaneously, and that all are controllable at the same time this game is no exception.
