Cohort II description

Continuation of the game Cohort: Fighting for Rome, not much different from the original (with the difference only in the best way).

Of the innovations worth noting the emergence of specific scenarios (quite a lot), clear time limits within which the action game (200 BC – 200 ad), the long-awaited emergence of the barbarian hordes (now we are fighting mostly with them), the emergence of new types of units (although nothing particularly interesting, they are not – just different conditional types of infantry and cavalry), more convenient interface for giving orders, greatly improved graphics and adding many features but the main thing – much "posilnee" intelligence of the enemy. What factors affect the change in tactics is unknown, but it is safe to say that even replaying the same scenario every time will differ from the previous passing.

The rest is the same sweet Cohort, and it is good - one of the rare occasions when the sequel did not deteriorate (and even improve) the original. Recommended to fans of the first part and everyone who loves the old strategy.
