Talk:Cossacks: European Wars
|
Cossacks: European Wars is a Real-Time Strategy video game by Ukrainian developer GSC Game World which was their first international hit on video game market and was followed by two stand-alone extension packs (Art of War and Back of War) and a sequel, Cossacks 2: Napoleonic Wars. The game was also referenced in GSC next big project, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (a fictional brand of vodka is named Cossacks and it's packaging is very similar to this game's).
The following weapons appear in all three games (an original game and all of the expansion packs):
Arquebus
A matchlock arquebus rifle can be seen in the game as first firearms available before the muskets.

Musket
Nartov Mortar System
Known in the game as "Mnogostvolka" ("Multi-barelled") is a mostly very correct depiction of Nartov Mortar System, a rotary mortar system designed in 1754 by Russian inventor Andrei Konstantinovich Nartov (who also is one of the inventors of a gun scope among many other things). While it's portrayed as a succesful wounder-waffe in the game itself, a fewer real systems manufactured were considered ineffective in their time.
