Ok buildings provided defense but many people stopped playing it because it was all about sending troops in the buildings and games lasted too long. I think storehouse, mill, town hall, dwellings and blacksmith should have been the same like in Cossacks now. You can capture them if set on, but you cant send defense units there.
There isn't a fixed date for the end of the balance process, it will all depend on the plan the developper have for the game as well as the feedback from players.
Thanks Foeurdr good information. Hunrex, That's what American Conquest building defence is so good. Yeah, you're right,the game lasted too long. But invasion stopped all the time. Building defence used to stop an Indian warrior invasion) With this last Cossacks 3 patch I'll send 15 soldiers everywhere for fun) American Conquest other good feature, the mill was producing cavalry units. I'd like to see that feature in Cossacks 3 game.
Aq what i really liked for were standard bearers , officiers and 18c proper cavalry espec they had pistols. Damn it was so sexy. Espec when u fight 18c u its. The things i hated there that 1 fire arrow destroys building it starts building for whole time till it explodes. Oh come on... concrete buildings from 1 fire arrow??? It might fail to spread fire so wtf? Also they had just 1 type of infantry 18c. Fusiliers. The things I really miss in cossacks : pistols , standard bearers , more elegance from officiers , 2 weapons for soldiers , musketeers and cavalry. And fortifications... Ofc this game could have something invented but It will never become a reality. 1. Colonel unit - Limited unit 5 per army. Using sword pistol at 300 range and then going on sword. With high attack and defence parameters. 2. Different officiers for european nation 18c. At least 4 different types. 3. Veteran experience for formations. At least with 3 levels increasing stats slightly. 4. Fortifications like rampants which u could build either for slow advance or defending battlefield. (ATM only hills works similar. If u fakl on your attack you rally soldiers somewhere on hill between your and enemy's base) . It could actually become a reality like on cossacks 1 intro... Improved towers. Where you could station 15 troops or at least this tower might have smt like additional musket fire to kill off closer ranged units like grenadiers or archers. 5. Rivers , bridges , variety of landscape , shallow waters where bigger ships couldnt pass by
Fire arrow was so funny. They shot arrows and I had to put out with my peasants. That's what a real big problem. An also I couldn't put out castle fire) Castle was burning all the time) I liked your suggestions, but I think the game need military academy or two academies. First one is dealing with civil upgrades second one is military upgrades and If we make military academy we can enlist lieutenant, captain,major, colonel or other ranks of officers inside this building or barrack. But We can see in the game only one unit called the officer. Which rank he has? And also we can't produce general rank officer in the game. Some of the campaigns gave us. But we can't produce freely. In Cossacks 2 we can see veteran units and veteran units fought well. Fortification types of American Conquest are better than all Cossacks series. We could make two log cabin, castle... We had to change our tactics. Occupying every single house fired our units and We had lost many of our troops) Cossacks 3 game also need a new tower like a log cabin. We can occupy this building for 15 or 30 units and then defend our territory.
Thats the case! In cossacks 3 we don't have any tactical diversity in battlefield. Only going forth snd back resulting in one mess big massacre. Even saving ur elite numbers and growing them in numbers might not help you. For example i beated many attack of my enemy and after each his wave of attack i saved more and more 18c dragoons. Untill i had 5 full formations. Then i gone to offensive with pretty strong army and almost all my army was beated up. So even if u save from time to time units that have slow production time it can't guarantee your victory. Same on battlefield. In cossacks 1 i have won many battles against prussia just by defending. You take a hill , secure your flanks. And build labyrinth of wooden pallisades with lots of gaps. So cavalry might not easilly maneuver. If they wanted to raid me they had to destroy pallisades if they try to do that i shoot their units dead. Then when 1200+ hussars comes forth half of them becomes stuck. If they are ordered to move back , or go other side. Just portion of them listens other gets sruck so you kill em pretty fast and they renders useless tried it as well in here you know it works . But about tower and defences imagine. You can dig up some trenches , make actual ramparts to secure your logistic lines that they wont get raided. I even tried once building ballisades along my army marching route. Well it secured flanks from hussars and mc. Sich cossacks. So what I wanted to say that in c3 there could be more ways to make this game nearer to historical realism. And 18c warfare. Lets hope that before c3 project finishes we at least will see sappers , rivers on map with possibility ro build pantoon bridges , blockhouses , ramparts , trenches etc. Or at least pallisade with actual higher ground from choosing side
The game needs more unit types. Sapper units or pontonniers, 18th century light infantry(sharpshooter or scout) for some nations or colonial troops for every nation. The game also needs defensive structures; bastion,lunetten,redan or flenche,redoubt types or fort, fortress. Many European armies and some Eastern armies used these types of structures. By the way Yeah, we can't see tactical diversity. I played one of the not good not bad player he used raid tactics and when he failed he got out of the game. I don't like it this situation. I don't understand this type of people. If he won the game He can boast everywhere. But his tactics are getting out of date. Just raiding everywhere. When I defence with musketeers, he run away quickly. If the balance project finishes we can talk about other upgrades. Until then we must just dreaming about units and other good upgrades for Cossacks 3.

New missing units, Mercenary commander, drummer, flag bearer. The game needs flag bearer but also need mercenary units too. Diplomatic centre units are very irregular units. I accept that we can make formation with our barrack commander, but I think the game needs unique officers, drummers and also flag bearers. Historically,Venice and other state used a lot of different unit types and all of them were mercenary. They were unique uniforms and equipments also They were the best units.
Well i accept idea that diplo could have a veey good mc units like musketeers with 90hp and 80 shooting power , but their price should be smt like 800 gold. So you wanna make bery good soldiers? Try to afford it
Aistis, This is just an useful suggestion for missing unit section. Do you see diplomatic centre commander or drummer in the game? According to me Diplomatic units don't look like as an irregular unit and also have a good soldiers and good price. Now they are an ordinary soldier and make no difference just raiding units. Some of the players used-Cossacks and etc.- for that reason alone. Don't kid me please. I've just dreamed it and I've brought this suggestion. If it was up to me, I could separate diplomatic centre units with two centuries. 17th century and 18th century units don't show other centuries inside the diplomatic centre.
For me good units without upgrade could be used as mercenaries. And there could be 2 types pf Diplo. Eastern mercenaries , German mercenaries . For example even soldiers with 80 life 28 bayonet and 30 shooting power would be something. Its just their shooting range could be slightly shorter than ordinary musketeers. And peice could be like 400 gold. And 5.2 sec creation speed. Many ppl will use them then
I liked your ideas. Two diplomatic centre is very good. Eastern and German mercenaries and we could add mercenary military engineer and sharpshooter or other units. No we can only use grenadier, mounted dragoon, roundshier, light infantry and archer. But this suggestion will bring more units and more fun.

And two interesting artillery types: http://wiki.totalwar.com/w/Puckle_Guns_(ETW_unit) http://wiki.totalwar.com/w/Rocket_Troop_(ETW_unit)
Kamilow, If you remember Cossacks Back To War, There are 4 or 5 new ships which are called Ketch, cutter, 18th century frigate, Victoria. Maybe developers can add one or two more new ships for all nations.The game also needs a hospital and sanitarian,doctor, etc. Pope, mullah other clergyman's main duty is related to protect the faith. But in this game they are just like doctors)
I think quite a lot of units from Back to War are missing. The English New Model Army units, the Swedish 18th century dragoons and a host of others...
Dlc with units is very much needed. Especially for England, Algieria , Russia, Venice, Ukraine, France.
