American Conquest takes Era between 1492 and 1813 you hold 12 great nations and tribes in your hand to choose from: Spain, England, France, Aztecs, Incas, Mayas, Sioux, Delaware, Huron, Iroquois League, Pueblos, USA you have more than 100 different units and 106 buildings you can use Tactical formations for infantry, cavalry and artillery using officers, drummers and standard bearers the game is really realalistic each unit is animated so when a unit fires it will take time to releod not just pop one shot after another. The gunners can now not only just shoot like in Cossacks European Wars and Art of War and well Back To War but they now carry Knives and Swords for close Combat. The games Natural environment can be used strategically: caves as hiding places or ambush starting points, hills extend the shooting range. The maps come in sizes as Follows "NORMAL" which is for a fast game if you want but still pretty big. "BIG" This is suitible map almost everyone plays on this size of map, It loads pretty fast and is just the right fit for a 2 vs 2 players and the last size is "HUGE" this map is just to big it takes to long to load and is probobly made for 4vs4 players with a total 16,000 troops each but still pretty fun if you have 8 hours on your palm. because trust me foot soldiers walk slow.
42 versatile missions in 8 thrilling campaigns e.g. Pizarro's Expedition, the War of Tecumseh, the Seven Years War, the American War of Independence 6 historical battles in multiplayer mode 9 separate single player missions. Like i said before I mentioned 16,000 troops Yes thats right you can have 16,000 troops in Single player or Multiplayer games but you dont have to when I and my freinds played we never managed to get more than 3.400 soldiers composed of Pikeman,Gunners,Horses and Artilitary. you may wonder how do we keep track of so much troops? Easy like I said above you can make formations with Officers and Drummers and than you will see a little Square with a Units Picture and how many are in Formation might seem hard but it isint. But this game isint just fight, fight, fight You gather resources, which are different for each nation. Besides production buildings and huge forts, you construct science premises to research better weapons and units. Your diplomatic skills are needed, too, as you form alliances or even post a reward on a certain enemy squad. In this game there are also neutral Indian nations that you can make peace with your Priest or Officer and than use them toward your advantage like hire a scout or a small army.

American Conquest Also has Morale
Factors that impact the morale of soldiers will be taken into account. For example: loss of over 30% of subdivision soldiers, loss of officers, being surrounded, rear maneuvers and flank attacks will decrease morale.
A squad that attacks an enemy without being fired upon has higher morale and combat characteristics than a squad being fired at in response. Soldiers depend on the commander of their squad; if he has won numerous battles then they have higher morale, attack, and defense values than soldiers following a less successful commander. Before I end this let me also tell you alittle about the Cannons in Cossacks European Wars or other games of Cossacks you might have noticed that the cannons build really fast and are way to powerful well American Conquest got rid of that huge Advantage. Guns will have crews to load and fire them. When loading a gun, a realistic and highly-animated loading sequence is played back. Apart from grapeshot and bombs, the artillery will be able to fire cannonballs, the most widespread projectile of the time. Cannonballs don’t explode, but fly a long distance and ricochet off the ground to wipe out everything in their way. But the cannons are really expensive in this game if your low on cash and even if you upgrade all building speeds for it still seems to go slow Cannons take about 40 seconds to reload if not less also they greatly move slow into battle 2 crewman push the cannon into position or battle field and the other 2 crewman carry the cannon balls and that takes awhile to transport. Also I forgot to mention Buildings are highly and nicely detailed and each servers as a different purpose and also you can Garrison all of the buildings with troops of pheasnts and they will shoot out of them incase theres an attack yes you can also build different types of ships but i wont ruin the whole game for you guys just download a demo and check it out but dont expect to get everything in the demo youll have to buy it and enjoy it if your really big war freak.

Overall the game is better than it looks, well depends on what type of person you are and what games you like.
