Not a fan |

Is the CDV game you mentioned by any chance the American Conquest Divided Nation one?
I'm afraid I'm not much of a fan of the Cossacks style RTS games - I had VERY high hopes for Cossacks as I'm also a fan of that period but it degenerates quickly into mindless "build as quick as you can then rush 'em" battles - where's the 'strategy' in that? The AI is pretty bad and it doesn't churn out more than a few basic units despite the plethora of types available. The graphics are great but limited to the isometric view. However it DID inspire something in Zulu TW - because of the Cossacks series I'm planning to have bands and musicians (actually for the Guards, Highlanders and a line regimental band based on the 24th) The Total War series however, while it ain't perfect, at least is more modifiable (moddable) and the latest installment, Barbarian Invasion, has 'horde' type civilizations that can range and pillage until they decide to settle down - very reminiscent of the mfecane! The AI is pretty good and if we do it right I think we can simulate the wars of South Africa pretty darn well. The Alamo game I hoped to get was the 'cheap movie tie-in' to the latest Alamo film - which I found in terms of historical accuracy a lot better than the flag-waving John Wayne myth!
