Cossacks 3 was quite a surprise to be announced for Linux, and new details are slowly trickling in about this strategy game. We now have two short teaser videos showing them game off.
First up, here's a very short in-game teaser:
And then there's the new character animation teaser:
Official feature list
- Game features:
- Breathtaking historical real-time strategy.
- Actions unfold in Europe in the XVII–XVIII centuries.
- Five singleplayer historical campaigns.
- 12 playable nations.
- Grandiose battles of up to 10,000 units on the map.
- Realistic physics of bullets and cannonballs.
- Considerable influence of the landscape on battle tactics.
- Infinite variations of battles with computer enemies on random maps.
- Flexible generator of random maps with selection of a preferable landscape.
- Windows, Mac OS and Linux support.
I have to say, I am extremely excited to get my hands on this. Are you? We don't have many high quality real time strategy games, but we have a lot of turn based strategy games, so it's one of the reasons I'm so excited.
I never had a chance to play these series of games, so having it on Linux makes it even sweeter.

I'm very excited about this. I played the first Cossacks and I loved it. I'm hyped that it's coming. But it's fantastic that it will be a Linux release.
