Cambio mi valoración de dicho juego, previamente no lo recomendaba pero gracias a la preocupación de la comunidad por mejorarlo hay un gran numero de actualizaciones que se puede encontrar en el mismo steam que te permite entre otras cosas convertir el idioma del juego y no solo cambiar el texto al castellano sino que tambien las voces del mismo.

Es el juego en si es una pasada, es una buena apuesta donde la gran cantidad de unidades del siglo XIX se enfrentan entre ellas y la verdad puede parecer un juego sencillo pero cada vez que nos adentramos mas en el mismo vamos viendo que las batallas son cada vez mas complejas y que los tempos de recarga de las armas de avancarga son esenciales para ganar una batalla, ademas es uno de los pocos juegos que respetan la mala precision de las armas que se contaban entonces.

Es un gran juego.

épico, fluido, fácil para jugar, batallas históricas para un jugador y online, varias facciones, entretenido y muy divertido.
100/10

Cossacks 2 Fix
So I have had a ton of trouble since buying this game on a whim. Didn't know anything about it. Suffice it to say, the Steam version does not work on all PC's. I've got a Gateway FX gaming laptop and can run any game on the market so my specs are fine.

Here is my work around for Cossacks after much finagling. I hope this helps you guys.

1. You need the C2_Patch_v1_2.exe (google that exact thing and download it)
2. Download Universal Extractor (google it and download it
3. Use Universal Extractor to extract the C2_Patch_v1_2.exe patch into any file you want on your desktop
4. Copy and paste extracted patch into the root folder for Cossacks 2 c:/programfiles(x86)-Steam-steamapps-common-Cossacks II Napoleonic Wars
5. Run game using startengine.exe button in root folder

This may be all you need to get it to work. However if you get the error
'Engine.exe has detected, that video memory is not configured properly. Please restart computer and set AGP Aperture size-256 Mb or more in BIOS configuration program."
you need to do another couple of steps

6. Download the c2-hoae-3d-patch.zip and copy and paste its contents into the same root folder the first patch went in and run the game using the startengine.exe button


O.k. now the game works but I can't save a file (smh why would steam allow this to be sold when its so broken?)

1. Go to the root folder.
c:/programfiles(x86)-Steam-steamapps-common-Cossacks II Napoleonic Wars
2. If there is no folder named 'Save' then create a folder named 'Save'
3. If there is a folder named 'Save' open it and delete any folders inside it (possibly says 'camp' not sure)
4. Remove the "Read-only" status from the Cossacks II Napoleonic Wars folder
-Do this by right clicking on the folder, select properties, deselect 'read-only' and hit apply (may need to do this every time you play the game...I have for some reason.)


This helped me for now. If I find other bugs and work around I'll post them here. But this is seriously pathetic and I'm filing a complaint to Steam. A game that does not work shouldn't be sold.


Edit 1:
The "Too many handlers" error seems to happen only on certain missions. My only work around is save often and beat mission as fast as possible to continue playing.

Edit 2: (omfg)
Some of the text in the game is German. Specifically building/unit names and descriptions while everything else is in English. To fix this
1. Go to root folder
c:/programfiles(x86)-Steam-steamapps-common-Cossacks II Napoleonic Wars
2. Open 'Text" folder
3. Delete file mdlist(2).txt (make sure its the one that says (2))

This fixed the problem for me. Apparently some German language files may find their way into your text folder through the screwy patch system. If this file does not exist you will have to just look through every file till you find the German stuff and delete it.

No sirve no te deja entrar al juego fueron 59 pesos muy mal gastados

!!!Important!!!

This is a great game but the "Battle for Europe" contains this game and the expansion as well and the price is the same! You dont want to buy this!

muy bueno

Este juego me lo regalaron y lo instale pero me da error como puedo solucionarlo?

NO ME DEJA JUGARLO :(

Lets be honest. is this a famous game? no. but yes the series is awesome anyone who has taste in strategy gemes will like this yes the camera sucks, so does the first strong hold games! this is historicaly accurate and realistic, ur men get shot they die thats realistic i pesonally love this game

Nostalgia brought me here, and nostalgia will stop me asking for a refund. This was a great game, this version is very buggy, but can be made marginly less buggy! Due to tips from users (bless you all), rather than the people I threw my money at. The game should not be for sale in this state. If I was a New player I would'nt bother. With my rose tinted spectacles on, im still playing, curses upon you steam.
