An absolute must for every Cossacks and American Conquest fan!

Three centuries of war continue - with even more frantic combat and more desperate power struggles raging across the American continent. The Spanish sound the attack on Yucatan amidst fierce Maya and Aztec resistance. The Germans put all their efforts into finding the legendary Eldorado. The Pontiac Uprising ends in a terrifying bloodbath between Native Americans and the British. And the Russians will do anything to conquer Alaska at the cost of the Haida. There is a fantastic bonus for shrewd strategists: the great new battlefield mode in single-player and multiplayer modes! Tactical skill alone will determine victory or defeat in single-player and multiplayer games.

So, plunge into battle!
