HUGE 18TH CENTURY LINE BATTLE - Cossacks 3 Gameplay

[@MaxGon5]

3:38 XD The Cavalry is going trough like a lawnmower :D

[@redtimon1045]

Max Gon I

[@MatthewVanston]

Those are cuirassiers. Everybody knows cuirassiers are overpowered, what did you expect?

[@NYG5]

they don't even reload their muskets, they still don't run, why are they still using a 15 year old engine? That's too bad. If only Empire Total War had an AI

[@Sergeant_Camacho]

Yeah I find annoying that they don't even reload the muskets! epic fail!

[@Masher8559]

Actually it's a brand new engine this time, the lack of reload and no morale was a design choice since the game was based on being exactly the same as Cossacks 1 but with a new 3D engine and better graphics/animations etc.

[@Henners1991]

Cossacks 2: Napoelonic Wars was definitely the best game of the series. Had realistic reloads, volley fire and a morale system. This just looks horrible. The only good thing about the older Cossacks games was that they had ships that were to-scale... but they've not retained that in this incarnation :P

[@Sergeant_Camacho]

I will give a try to Cossacks 3. But I liked the idea of troops reloading muskets and morale system. I think the one who mastered both was American Conquest; I really hoped they made a sequel to American Conquest...

[@NYG5]

I always liked American conquest. The whole engine needs to incorporate running and more animations though. It just looks lame when a bayonet charge is a walk.

[@pedrobarbosaduarte3704]

3:35 see an entire line been eaten xD

[@salter1630]

Ikr

[@the_bear_king]

he bloody slaughtered them with the cav. at least make it fair by giving the brits Cav as well.

[@Elzimbabwe.]

In his men at war video presenting the new cavalry he bloody slaughtered all the French with his cav too without any retinue. At least here he made them do a suicidal charge on the British front line a the end.

[@svampkin]

*OMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM*

[@the_bear_king]

i did complain then as well and i prefer equal battles than bias ones.

[@aisthpaoitht]

The casualty rates and insanely high morale of units is super arcade-y. Nothing like real life. And still a shame to see cannons with no crews.

[@haotianzhang1441]

Cossack 2/American Conquest used to have crews...

[@iliasvanhove3211]

Indeed, I liked Divided Nations a lot.

[@aisthpaoitht]

What is Empire at War?

[@afgncap]

Because it's an arcade game? Devs never hid it from anyone that this is more of a remake of original cossacks than a whole new game, and the original cossacks tried to be bigger scale age of empires in a time frame that was more relevant to Eastern Europe and Central Europe.

[@kolticc]

Yeah? Still fun so shut it egg head

[@BridlingtonWarrior]

That cavalry though...

[@roundduck7005]

egy

[@SkyripperThaBird]

That was an extremely efficient cavalry charge, no? I love how they just trotted in and swung their swords around a little.

[@salter1630]

They were very casual about it

[@raccoonbigg]

@@SkyripperThaBird fr, slowest cavalry charge I've seen

[@Andrey0153]

"We're getting gunned down, that is so cool" lmao.

[@thatkindofguy234]

Don't like how they've barely put anything new in this it literally just looks like old cossacks

[@murismael]

I agree. Better graphics only. The mechanics, building and units are the same as the first Cossack back in 2001. Too sad.

[@gregoringles6429]

the cannons with crews were awesome in American Conquest games. I totally hated the guns magically moving on own their own. I mean, whats the point? it takes the fun out of the gameplay and also the feeling of realism. i know it is not the most realistic game, but why go through so much detail on uniforms and then totally leave out cannon crew?

[@IAtarenI]

You are aware that this is a remake of the original Cossacks from 2001, not a new game? The title is a bit misleading.

[@med-medayas6525]

Gregor Ingles r u rly comparing dis shit to american conquest ?

[@yavuzcankaya62]

it is like a hd remake

[@euadyeu]

Why artillery pieces still have no crew?! Something tells me they rushed to release this game without any detailed reviews and fixes.

[@Denterify2]

well it seems to be more a remastered cossacks 1, I might remind you that they had artillery crews in cossacks 2

[@HitmaNBAST]

just calmk the fucking horses down it is still on early acsess so please dont talk shit of a game that its not even finished

[@Denterify2]

Cossacks 3 isn´t in early acess

[@HitmaNBAST]

Angustus yes it is on early acess search it on steam

[@Denterify2]

store.steampowered.com/app/333420/ no early acess

[@the_bear_king]

how the hell were the britsh suppose to hold the line?

[@Elzimbabwe.]

They lost, swallow it and move on. I didn't see you in the comments when in his men at war videos the French or the Americans where at a huge disadvantage against the Brits. Diplex is a British fanboy so don't worry for the Brits loosing too much.

[@cruls5026]

WHY is no one firing in a volley? Everyone shooting separately is far less effective.

[@pocketcoffee6402]

Thats just cossacks Back to war mechanics. They lineinfantry just shoots as soon as they are in range.

[@canonhoover7261]

Yeah Cossacks had and has some weird mechanics but in Coassacks 2 you could and it was amazing! Look of some footage of it

[@SangerZonvolt]

Yeah I don´t get why they remade the first Cossacks when the second had amazing mechanics. Like you could decide when the indiviual lines fire and the closer you were the more damage you did. So you could use the swedish tactics and charge up to the enemy and then fire a volley right into their faces to obliberate them, assuming their volley didn´t kill too many of your man. And the reload time was actually rather long, so it was important how you timed you volleys and charges.

[@helltrooper131]

do more vid wit this game you and apollo vs AI very hard :)

[@sweepingtime]

Your cavalry were eating the redcoats like piranhas.

[@randomquestion7592]

It was just a slaughter fest since the enemy clearly had nobody commanding their troops.

[@manualteirac9817]

"Chargez à la baïonnette" or "Baïonnette au canon, CHARGEZ !" ^^

[@bastobasto4866]

Baionette au canon ... This is very stupid or I dont understand

[@manualteirac9817]

Bastobasto "Baionette au canon" means "fix your bayonets to your rifle barrel'

[@bastobasto4866]

No lel im french.

[@bastobasto4866]

Canon more mean cannon

[@LordTurtleneck]

The fucking idiot disabled their attack, altogether.

[@FANNYclNADYN]

Such battles was really cool in 2001, but since Empire and Napoleon total wars came out, it looks so outdated.

[@matthewnickolas4706]

this is completely stupid compared to Napoleona nd Empire and iven to Cossacks 2... I mean it's Called Cossacks 3 where is the improvement?? And don't tell me they wanted to remake the Cossaks 1 mechanics becouse they werent like that becouse of stile they were like that becouse of limitations of that age... No one wants a stupid 2001 strategy game with completely unrealistic battles (and "better" graphics wich are still worse then Total war) when you have things like Total war... Who's idea was this bullshit!?!

[@Pyro978]

Wow...i love how the infantry lets the Calvary roll up on them like that

[@jothegreek]

the game looks more revamped the initial cossacks i wouild wanted to see some of the thing of cossacks 2 like moral

[@titytitmk2738]

Cossacks 3 is pretty much the first cossacks games remastered with modern graphics.

[@jothegreek]

they said they will add things in the future

[@titytitmk2738]

jothegreek Thats good. It seems that they already include all Cossacks 1 and its expansions. IF they add new stuff in, its going to be great.

[@MilanPavlovic540]

If they add European map (world conquest campaing) I would be really happy.

[@jothegreek]

Milan Pavlovic do they have big maps as the initial game i loved huge maps

[@NoahVanceFishing]

LOVE how they still have the old cossacks 1 style UI!!!

[@Bluehawk2008]

The command to charge bayonets from the 1791 manual was "Croisez la baïonnette", then followed simply be "en avant!" Although in the 17th century, charging the pike breast high was "presentez von piques" so that may apply as well.

[@YesNo-ev3ot]

The English army's cannons didn't even fire so the English were at a huge disadvantage

[@microman1002]

they did fire tho?

[@head2headgamer710]

Cool video :) Love games where you can sandbox like this! Makes for impressive videos.

[@thomasvandevelde8157]

Never played Cossacks III, but did play a lot of Cossacks Art of War and older versions, and... Played them a bit more realistically: in reality they never used 4-rank formations, I just "glue" together a bunch of 36 or 72 units that are stacked up close behind when on the march, basically forming a huge 18-wide column, and divided my Armies into Corps. Which is what they would've done in real life: once my cavalry found the enemy, I'd start looking at terrain features for getting around being peppered with artillery. And above all: using the 72-unit, 3-rank unit gives you an element of realism and flexibility: A 2-rank deep "Dual 36" formation covers as much terrain as a single 120 men 4-rank unit and hence gives a lot more tactical flexibility with just half the men. The 3-rank Dual 72-men line-formation gives you about 48 width with 30% less men. This is why they invented the 3-ranks and later 2-rank systems in the first place. These smaller units which temporarily pack the same amount of "terrain holding power" allows you to hold the line, and even (counterattack) with a much smaller force against the enemy main army while you have all your other Corps/divisions race to the scene at post-haste! And with some luck, you might be crashing with 1 or even 2 fresh divisions on his flank/rear just as the enemy's assault is running out of steam. Arriving with "big" divisions consisting of 3-rank formations gives you another option than too: you can disband them, and reinforce the depleted 2-rankers you were fighting with in the first place. This "lenghtening by thinning" your line is especially handy when playing the heavy-shooting civvies like the Prussians, Bavarians or Danes, and where building up 120 men blocks is just too costly and slow. And if you got your researches right, a well timed volley from a Prussian 72-men, 2 rank/36-wide formation will peel away the first 2 ranks of a 120 men formation like gentle cheese, after which the road is wide open for a head-on bayonet charge. And when these guys are supported by batteries of cannon delivering concentrated artillery fire and maximum usage of terrain-features.... It'll be a slaughter even bigger than this, but more elegant :-) Regards, Thomas PS. In real life the Prussians always used 2 or 3 rank formations, the French under Napoleon used 3-rank lines often supported by greenhorn columns on the flanks, while the British Highlander stuck to their 2-rank Thin Red Line :-) And the Austrians stuck to 4-rank formations, till they got their ars*s kicked by Frederick the Great on numerous occassions. I ought to dust off my Cossacks games here, and give it a shot again hehe. And smaller formations "glued" together for the time being, can be disbanded when disaster strikes and you need to reconfigure from a 288-men double 3 rank charge to a "forlorn hope" line of about 100 men to cover your retreat hehe!

[@LaylatheBoxerDog]

Cossacks was my all time fav game at the time of AOE when i was younger, i loved it because the troops dont have health its pretty realistic! youve just made me buy Cossacks3 which i never knew was out! great vid! subbed and liked keep up the great work buddy!!!

[@ninjerman21124]

the battle starts at 2:04

[@cokezero332]

When i see a diplex video i tear up from happines

[@LordTurtleneck]

How did you manage to get the Editor to work?

[@rc59191]

I got Cossacks 3 and all the others. Can't figure out how to organize new units into regiments and formations.

[@ManuelGrgic-pj2eh]

Cossacks 3 is just cossacks remastered and cossacks 2 is tow napoleon but 2 d

[@CrusaderAirsoft]

is there any way to make it so the bodys of the dead dont dissapper

[@FieldmarshalDJKhaled]

There is going to be/ already is mod support, so it is only a matter of time before there is going to be a persistent body mod

[@Robert-rc8re]

Battle starts at 2:04

[@TheMegaSuperPickle]

For any asking about it. The hotkeys to leave peace mode is ctrl+w

[@MIFITHEKING]

The last time I played Cossacks, Facebook hadn't been invented yet. An old game, which entertained me for months. The campaign and created battles were awesome :D Greets from Switzerland

[@ifly6]

If it had unit collision, it'd be better than Empire. This doesn't have unit collision.

[@TheThingInMySink]

Yeah right, the units get mowed down way too fast, this game is about as unrealistic as aoe2 so it's not even in the same category

[@doid3r4s]

Ao2 has unit collision, that's why Kamayuk are OP

[@SS18w4531g00]

Few questions: - does the new game still spot the old bugs, especially those considering stuck formations, inability to control them when close to a capture-able cannon and terrain? - there seems imbalance in movement speed between infantry and cavalry, can you confirm? - is the AI as pathetic as in the old game? I saw a few videos where it was even worse? Thanks, input much appreciated.

[@partisancommander8684]

How do you spawn units in the editor? I don't know how.

[@ultraknight9694]

Please do more in loving this game and it's fun to watch plus it's something new on your channel

[@BillKing8888]

Why are the cannon just sitting in the field with nobody firing them?

[@fozeapox7755]

Every time I get on Cossacks it gives me an access violation, any help?

[@wandacombs1020]

its amazing how this good of a video and this good of a game is 7 years old.

[@MIFITHEKING]

Diplex cossacks napoleonic wars offers you a large variety of different nations and traditional regiments of the napoleonic era. I preferred this version of cossacks and spent weeks editing new scenarios :)

[@firebird4491]

How do i place units down in the editor? Seriously i cant find out how.

[@bunturigiorgi]

ssame

[@Milos10888]

Dude, what button too press and remove peace mode? I cant find how to bild trees, water or rocks...cant anybody tell me? Thanks

[@ESFAndy011]

2:20 Where the hell was that guy headed?

[@MisterJunichi]

how come both you and PixelatedApollo are playing the same game at the same time?

[@Denterify2]

probably cause it just released yesterday

[@microman1002]

There also friends that play games with one another

[@piescespiesces602]

The cannons are moving as if being pulled by ghosts :-)))

[@Tantemify]

how can the cannon move by itself ? what sorcery is this ?

[@tH4ttUs]

is there a way to habe a better anti alaising at the units? :)

[@kore6078]

why does the commander of each squad just walk in front like that to die?

[@user-nm9qd6bo6h]

The cav just DESTROYED those musketmen

[@dynamo6322]

Diplex, you should do a scenario where there is 3 units of standard line infantry in front and only artillery behind for your side. On the other side, there should be masses of infantry. It would be so epic! Thanks for the vids!

[@kaustubhponkshe6186]

What is minimum but best configuration required to play this game?

[@Leevi17]

It's simply "Chargez !" (Charge !) But it would certainly be preceded by the order "Bayonnettes au canon !" (Put on bayonnettes)

[@TheAutrichienImperium]

Them memories of Cossacks back to war.

[@CrysResan]

do the grenadiers actually throw grenades?

[@MankindDiary]

Yes, but only against the buildings.

[@BalianofTheTube]

So is this an old game that's recently had a revamp on steam or is this a new game?

[@Falconnatic]

remake of cossacks 1

[@alexandrrogers8957]

No AI at all. Horrible

[@Alcofribas83]

That's because this is editor mode, and the enemy was on "hold position". In a normal game the AI would be a lot smarter.

[@alexandrrogers8957]

borisvdm i play few mission on campaign.. no, AI is terrible

[@Alcofribas83]

Alexandr Rogers Oh, but campaign is very buggy atm. Random map works fine.

[@alexandrrogers8957]

borisvdm ok

[@theharshwinterarchive5544]

the thing is AI in last game European wars was nice.

[@sachasnyman8202]

you sound like Sapper from Commandos: Behind enemy Lines..You gave me hope in finding this game again THANK YOU!!!!!.... also can you still CTRL + 1 to allocate squads?

[@Cnupoc]

Napoleon Total War is way better and MUCH more realistic...

[@xan9559]

mate even shogun first is better and much more realistic xD

[@Cnupoc]

ye :D Cossacks 3 actually reminds me of "Totally Accurate Battle Simulator" :D :D

[@LPMarant]

It is a RTS Game, it isnt meant to be super realistic... Like Age of Empires its just about having lots of units fighting in arcade style battles

[@Jose-kb6nc]

This one of the games where the units ARE FUCKING ANTS.

[@ykropgreen]

Cossacks 2 more realistic this piece of shit.

[@Jack_CYDHWK]

I think a village/town assault would look cool and have it go down to hand to hand in the centre

[@ThunderstormOfficial]

How to turn off peace mode?

[@dedod4860]

Man of War and Cossacks both made by ukrainian developers, they like to make edditor mode aviable for their games, same story was with Stalker(from Cossacks devs)

[@saberplaytop]

Is there a way to play this game without needing Steam?

[@Nhinhonhinho1990]

How can you manage to change faction @@!!?? in editor?

[@gryff42]

well in my opinion, Empire and Napoleon Total war displayed such things much better...and they are much older

[@sickusername2747]

great gameplay 1 tip tho u should have merged those battalions

[@McNab1986]

Having the cavalry made it pointless, they literally could of started at the end of each line and wiped out each row by themselves. With only 4 lines of infantry in support

[@d-coretail1372]

Can't believe they war like this, I mean nothing hide yourself against just openly shooting each other

[@WysteriaGuitar]

Is the American army in the game? Rev War or Civil War?

[@sachasnyman8202]

the reason they dont stand their ground is cause you sent them to a specific spot if they stationary then they wont move ,, in cossacks 1 it was the same thing

[@setogod]

can you play 18th vs 14th centrys like in EE?

[@kingdarkd2587]

Why can't those horsement actually run? I mean, wouldn't it make sense for them to have a normal speed and a charge speed?

[@klanny22]

The art style particularly reminds me of Ultimate General Gettysburg now that I think of it.

[@moustachekikogaming8965]

How grafic card you have?

[@Chameleon1616]

Is there actually an AI in the game?

[@alexandrrogers8957]

No. Its dumb

[@RTSFan1337]

it's actually not meant for those battles

[@Tsunami401]

so it took them 16 years to make a graphic overhaul of cossacks 1?

[@dbblackkaiser]

Diplex if you want to play a medieval game play Bladestorm: 100 years war. Don't play the nightmare one that deals with demons etc. the Hundred Years' War is a game I would highly recommend

[@nikitagradovych5003]

the enemy cannons didn't fire...

[@ryskatt]

Seems to me that they have taken away volleyfire option. Is that correct? I dont have the game yet. Up til now I'm not impressed.

[@Jumboplaya]

so in this game...units have no sound?

[@segundonoacco3164]

You mean... speaking when clicking?

[@taskforcecrusader3515]

units have no sound bagpipers have no sounds to No old cheat such as QWE where you could press p click on any faction and spawn in a lot of troops, god i miss those days lol cannon has no crew, Editor is quiet hard to learn to so its not easy :/ lol

[@fulcrum7991]

This is more begining 19th century, since it focuses on the napoleonic wars

[@phathong9514]

how can I play a map like this is cossack 3 ?

[@majorbob6349]

how can I rotate the camera?

[@chestermenjivar6986]

Empire vs Rebellion, an uphill battle!!!!!

[@zatoichiissho9276]

where do i get internet game key ?

[@raulduran7124]

Never heard of this game i used to play warcraft 3 back in 2004

[@ScreamingSturmovik]

Cossacks D-Day saw the multiplayer and that is the first thing i thought

[@Kitkire]

Honestly this game looks like it was made in like 1995 gameplay and unit quality wise. So it's a 1995 game on a new engine.

[@bdogbB-ROCK-]

with pixel how you planned to attack

[@meadowlawson5082]

The cav ate them like a fat man eats a fun size kit kat faster than lighting

[@chilllaxton5848]

You wasted your cavalry you fool. Should have pulled them back and then flanked in the second attack rather than having them charge in on their own without infantry support. Their mother's would be disappointed in you.

[@Ghostpranker]

Is this game on iOS

[@voodooprince5561]

boi

[@matheusb.dambrowski4639]

Nah

[@matheusb.dambrowski4639]

good for the game, so there are no microtransactions

[@cannibalcheese]

you know you can volley fire right?. hold fire until in range and let rip. was way more effective in the napoleon version tho.

[@descendant0fdragons]

No offence 3:40 the cavalry are shitting redcoats, and some horses.

[@danb7202]

You should do more, that was very entertaining

[@Estren525]

"Baïonnette au canon !" Charger !

[@sassysauron2426]

I remember playing this as a kid.

[@Rottensparrow]

that cavalry speed lol

[@WysteriaGuitar]

Of course the question is - will there be an American Civil War mod? :)

[@Devik_Abash]

Reds had no chance, blue had cavalery and you controll blue using tactical ambush. kinda not fair.. :D you could select all blue team and just command line up behind red team shoting while moving. would be much interesting :)) but it's only my opinion

[@ghostelitegamer1267]

This game reminds me of American conquest a lot.

[@damiaan7021]

I never knew they made more of this game, damn, gotta spend some money now
