This is going on Steam pretty cheap at the moment, and it's been a game I've been dying to play for years. But there's so many different ones! And I'll be damned if I'm forking out for them all just to hate the whole thing, so could anybody recommend me the best one to get? [Are they even standalone?] Or would they recommend me just manning up and getting the lot?

Ok let's make this easier, what are these games similar to? They look like Total war with Stronghold graphics, which is fantastic, but how does it play?

Cossacks 1 is an Age of Empires-style game with a huge unit cap.

Cossacks 2 is more "simulation," with a style somewhat closer to the Total War series.

American Conquest may actually be the most balanced approach - higher detail and complexity than 1, while remaining an Age of Empires-style slaughterfest.

Does that help?

That does help thank you, I've done some research on Cossacks 2 and it seems that if I get European wars, I get everything in Napoleonic wars and some extra stuff, is this true?

EDIT: Battle for Europe, not European wars. My bad
