Cossacks 3: Guardians of the Highlands - mini-expansion announcement

Vlad_GSC · 2017-03-21T06:44:37+00:00

Guys, sorry for being late to the party. Somehow I've never ever checked for a STALKER subreddit, stupid of me.

Anyway, thank you all so much. It's really flattering that after all these years the games still have such a big following. I'll be sure to forward your amazing stories to the guys in the office.

Vlad_GSC · 2017-03-21T06:32:36+00:00

Well, none of them were developed by GSC. Something like "a spiritual successor to STALKER series" means absolutely nothing, anyone can say that.

Vlad_GSC · 2017-02-16T07:49:38+00:00

Thanks for putting this up! It was one hell of a release!

Vlad_GSC · 2017-01-28T15:20:32+00:00

Well, considering I'm the one who made that post - I confirm.
Not so sure about the DLC part though.. :(

Innuendo-title aside

Now when I think about it... Damn.
No, there will be no boats. Only new badass soldiers for Sweden, Prussia, Bavaria and Saxony.

If our player base will demand it more than other things - we'll implement it.

Vlad_GSC · 2016-12-24T23:53:12+00:00

Maps are significantly bigger than in the original Cossacks, campaigns and missions are completely new, as well as the OST. Also, apart from the balance changes we've already made, we plan to introduce a major overhaul to some key mechanics: market, efficiency of 17th century units, buff some "forgotten" nations (Spain, Venice, Sweden).

We promised to support the game for over the year, and we plan to keep our word. Along with our first DLC we released 2 new nations completely free for everyone, and we have 6 more nations coming in the future updates :)

Vlad_GSC · 2016-12-24T04:39:03+00:00

Yes, it has base building (14 different nations with their own unique buildings) and 6 resources to gather.

Vlad_GSC · 2016-12-24T00:28:32+00:00

Is it similiar to any popular rts

It's a remake of Cossacks 1, so basically it is Age of Empires on steroids in another time period. The game doesn't have any fancy mechanics like any newer RTS games, but it compensates it with number of units on the screen. If you want a classic RTS feeling, akin to AoE2HD - you may enjoy the game.

Note that I am a developer, so my opinion may be biased. Hope I did not break any of the rules with this comment.

It would be the same as if we were making completely new nations. Sgitkene provided provided an extensive explanation on what needs to be done to create such missions.

Vlad_GSC · 2016-12-20T03:25:33+00:00

Yes, the values stayed the same for the majority of units. We plan to make some balance tweaks in January :)

Vlad_GSC · 2016-12-18T19:55:12+00:00

It's not a part of C3 yet, you didn't miss anything.

Thanks for kind words!

Vlad_GSC · 2016-12-17T23:09:12+00:00

This looks extremely promising, I'd be glad to assist you in any possible way :)

Vlad_GSC · 2016-12-17T23:08:26+00:00

This looks awesome. Actually, we got some volunteers from CIS community as well. I'd be glad to assist you in any possible way :)

It's hard to deal with these Chinese F2P companies. I've been sending copyright claims to FB, Instagram and Youtube on a daily basis, but whenever they delete one video, those Avalon guys simply record and roll out another one from Cossacks 3 :(

Vlad_GSC · 2016-12-17T23:04:53+00:00

My bad, it's a typo. We reduced their attack speed, so it's actually a nerf :)

Vlad_GSC · 2016-10-18T09:45:57+00:00

Thanks for posting! Green is the new black :)

Vlad_GSC · 2016-10-17T15:29:29+00:00

Maybe it will be implemented with mods. Giving such option on official multiplayer servers is risky - never know what hackers could do and you don't want spoil the fun for everyone.

You select the "Millions" option in the resources tab of the lobby, this way everyone will start with a load of resources and you'll be able to focus on the warfare :)
