The first independent addition pack was The Art of War, which was made available on April 1, 2002. Like the classic Cossacks, the Game's 17th and 18th-century setting and controllable 8000 units. Five new missions, two new countries (Denmark and Bavaria), a mapping builder, and 16 more enormous landscapes with new types of Terrain are all added in Cossacks: The Art of War. An 18th-century Musketeer unit from both of the new nations exists. However, it has various characteristics.

Cossacks: The Art of War adds five additional campaigns, two new countries, several new items, and much more to the chronicle of the significant conflicts of the XVII-XVII ages.

The add-on COSSACKS: THE ART OF WAR comes after the massively popular Cossacks: European Wars. The single-player mode has been updated and made more dynamic, with varying difficulty levels. Additionally, the community and online play capabilities were considerably enhanced, enabling participants to examine each other's histories and replays of previous games. Cossacks are raised to a new Level by adding additional units, countries, ships, a Terrain editor, teaming up with the computer, and sharing resources.

Action Game

This Game continues the Cossacks franchise' tradition of having several units on screen at once that are all under the player's simultaneous command. In contrast to other authentic tactical video games, the maximum number of soldiers that may be utilized at once is 64,000. Only the Total War series can even come close to this amount, with 10,000 being the most soldiers that can be used simultaneously.

Singleplayer

Six nations are accessible in the Battle for Europe mode: France, Russia, Prussia, Austria, Egypt, and Great Britain. The goal of one of these is to rule over Europe. Spain, the Duchy of Warsaw, and the Confederacy of the Rhine are included in the 2006 add-on Cossacks 2: Battle for Europe.

Players are given control of a singular troop, which they can deploy across Europe according to a spin system. Actual combat is used in battles. Based on how many wars are won, player competence grows over time. More units are accessible when rewards are gained, and better ones could also become accessible. Only troops may be employed first, followed by infantry, engineering, cavalry, artillery, and lastly, elite ground forces and cavalry.

Versus mode

Players can engage in an online skirmish in the multiplayer option.

Virtually personal connections, such as LogMeIn Hamachi, must be set up for multiplayer gaming. A player may join another player's server after joining one created by them. However, gaming in this manner might lead to a lot of issues. It's also vital to remember that if you apply the Steam version's necessary patch (for it even to launch correctly), you won't be able to participate in multiplayer at all.
