List units of Cossacks: European Wars

This article lists and details the various units of the video game Cossacks: European Wars as of its let us add-ons, Cossacks: The Art off War and Cossacks: Back to War .

Introduction

In this play, the units do not create for themselves ex nihilo , except for certain campaigns, for the editor or if certain codes are used. To create a unit, it is necessary before to be ensured to have the resources (wood, food, stone, gold, iron and coal) necessary: according to the wished unit, one will need a variable quantity of one or several resources. Moreover, one cannot all build as of the beginning: for the buildings, the first three available is the mill, the mine and the town hall. The construction of the town hall allows that of the forging mill, the latter authorizes the acquisition of a barracks, etc This will be detailed in the article. Lastly, the passage to the eighteenth century (not available for all the nations) authorizes to him also new creations (Barracks 18th) or new units (in particular in the stable). This change of century also makes it possible to acquire the technology of the Montgolfier whose startup makes it possible to reveal the totality of the chart.

Note on the examples

In this article, unless otherwise specified, the examples given (resources required, characteristic,…) are starting from the nation by defect, the Bavaria.

Moreover, the prices indicated are those for the first unit created. The cost can indeed increase according to the number by already existing units. The units whose price can thus vary are announced by an asterisk (*) in the title of their paragraph.

Will also know that certain units or characteristics mentioned come into play only with the first extension, " The Art off the War".

Eighteenth century?

The passage to the eighteenth century brings many advantages to the player concerned: new units (barracks 18th…), technologies (montgolfier: revelation of all the chart…),…

To pass to the 18th century, it is already necessary to have at least a specimen of each building in operating condition, except for the dwellings, ports, mines, turns, walls/palisades and diplomatic center. The necessary resources depend on the nation.

Captures?

The civil buildings (excluded church), the peasants, the arsenals, the mines and any building in the course of construction can be captured by the enemy if no allied unit protects them. The capture of a unit by the enemy makes it possible this last to profit from new units, technologies, etc and conversely for you and the enemy units.

Dwellings?

Certain buildings (town halls, barracks, dwelling) provide you a variable number of dwellings. When the number of your human units reaches the total of these dwellings, it is necessary to build news or to remove existing human units of them to be able to continue creation of it.

Civil buildings

Except contrary mention, all the buildings of this category can be captured by the enemy.

Hotel of ville*

Points of life: 4030
Value: 10.00
necessary Resources: hone (700), wood (700)
Raccourci keyboard: C

The town hall is the place of generation of the peasants. It provides 100 dwellings normally (50 for a nation like the Algérie). This building also makes it possible to pass to the eighteenth century, to select the idle peasants and the mines in underdevelopments (which do not contain the authorized maximum of peasants). Moreover, just like the reserve, it can, even in ruins, to store the stone, the wood or food collected by the peasants.

Its creation allows those of the forging mill, the dwelling, the reserve and the church.

Moulin*

Points of life: 20000
Value: 0.01
necessary Resources: wood (30), stone (150)
Shortened keyboard: Y

The mill is often the first means used to produce food. It is surrounded by fields, which logically encourages to place it in a cleared zone, without layer, or buildings in the vicinity immediate. The mill, if it is not in the course of improvement (two possible evolutions, improving the output, of which one at the 18th century), is the principal stock room of the food collected in the fields which it generates.

Its construction (jointly with that of the reserve) allows that of the market.

Mine

Shortened keyboard: NR

The mine is construction making it possible to extract gold, the iron and the coal of their respective layers. One can distinguish three besides " modèles" with the identical functionalities for these three types of layers. The mine can be built only on one of these layers. For an optimal output, the mine can be improved six times to reach an inside working maximum of 95 peasants (however, the mine does not act like a dwelling). In the play, a mine never becomes exhausted. The mine works in autonomy: it does not require, contrary to the work of wood or the stone, a reserve or a town hall.

Note: not very current thing compared to the other buildings, the mine does not burn before falling in ruin; it explodes directly after the loss of its points of life.

Forge*

Points of life: 5500
Value: 5.00
necessary Resources: wood (100), stone (50), iron (740)
Shortened keyboard: L

The forging mill allows various technologies improvements concerning metal: " new tools agricoles" (increase in the capacity of the mills) or " iron forgé" structures; (increased resistance of the buildings) are examples of these improvements.

necessary Resources: wood (450)
Shortened keyboard: E

The gone makes it possible to exchange a resource against another. There are very variable ratios of exchange: for example, 10000 of food are exchanged against a few hundreds of gold. With each exchange carried out, the " prix" required resource increases, i.e. one has some less for all that resource offered. In general, the resources the best with dimensions ones are gold, iron and coal. It can be interesting to be focused on resources such as the stone or wood to constitute a reserve of several million and to thus be able of it to counter a lack of gold or food for example.

After the creation of the market, that of the port becomes possible.

Wall

Not of life: 65000
