Cossacks 3 Review (Seda145)

It's a no for me. Not because it's not fun, not because it's not good, but because it is Cossacks 1 with new graphics and the exact game breaking bugs.
It is for you if:
- You like quick action with very simple interface and controls, easy to learn and fun to play.
- You want to spend hours on a single battle.
- You don't mind that it is repetitive.
Not if:
- You want a proper strategy game, it is simply broken and the AI is incredibly retarded.
- You expect any bug fixes.
- You expect units like farmers to at least not sit on their butts if you don't command them actively, cause they will.
- you want to use automation logic of any kind, it's not there.
Current game breaking bugs:
- Huge fps drop while selecting transporter ships containing many troops.
- Farmers will stop working on a series buildings randomly.
- Commanding a large amount of troops will cause most to simply refuse commands silently.
- Commanding troops of which some can't reach target will can the others to refuse command.
- Farmers don't automatically repair things or pick up jobs.
- huge fps drop with large troops in general.
- Boats refuse shooting / mortar on a target randomly.
- boats refuse to pick targets automatically unless it's a newly constructed building.
- boats go over land, wiping out the enemy base on HARD with just 3 boats. What the hell this was present in cossacks 1 and reported about 10 years ago.
- on the hardest difficulty the AI can manage troops and buildings at a level you can't on a keyboard ever.
- It appears AI has no artillery / cannon limit?
Mostly because of selected troops to refuse commands entirely and boats being able to go over land, this game is unplayable / not enjoyable often.
