This self running demo shows a giant battle with dozens of formations. A battle as it is pretty common among experienced players and also favoured by the computer enemy.
This self running demo of Cossacks: European Wars shows an aspect of the game that is often neglected by beginners: formations. They are decisive for the outcome of a battle. After all they are the players main instrument to keep control of hundreds or even thousands of units in an easy way.
This demo also includes extracts from the manual which among other things explain how to create formations.
If you don’t want to download it, but you’re curious about it, here’s a camera footage of the demo (unfortunately that’s the only way I managed to record it).
