The game’s main appeal comes out of that openness and free choice, and it does that extremely well.Ĭombat takes a while to get used to. If one wanted to, they could join up with, say, the Polish and then rebel against them and join the Cossacks and then take all of their officials prisoner and use them as collateral to build your own nation out of what was once the Cossack nation. The player can choose to ally with any of the countries or become a freelance mercenary or become a rebel and set up their own country.
