Played this game for over a decade, from my early teens into my twenties. Lost girlfriends, missed birthdays, forgot anniversaries...because I was deep in a siege or building up my settlements. They said I had a problem. I say I had priorities. They left. Cossacks stayed.

Unfortunately, this game doesn’t always play nice with modern hardware, bugs and crashes pop up like rebellious peasants. But it’s still one of the best oldskool RTS games ever made. Massive battles, deep strategy, and endless hours of glorious micromanagement. If loving this game is wrong, I don't want to be right.
