Cossacks MOD1 is probably one of the best things the Cossacks community
has ever given to the game and this gift has ensured the ongoing
love and enjoyment of the great Cossacks series. All of MOD1 was
created by 2 true Cossacks fans, Shaun Fletcher (Baddog)
and Stefan Hertrich who with authorization from GSC Gameworld
fulfilled their dream to make a truly awesome contribution towards
one truly awesome game.

Contents of MOD1
MOD 1 contains 37 new unit types including 3 new cannons. These
new units are mainly new nation specific models to replace the current standard ones except for a few units such as the
artillery. However when you are are using MOD1 you cannot play any
pre-designed missions or campaigns unless they were created using
MOD1 units or else the game will crash. In addition to all of these
great new units we are provided with other small tweaks to the game
which can be seen below :
- New infantry formation size: You are now able to make a formation
consisting of 324
infantry units. This formation size can be used with all infantry
formation types.
- 17c musketeers have less building time
- 17c dragoons have less building time and +2 more attack
- 18c dragoons have less building time
- 18c unique musketeers have lower building time and some of them
also longer range
- grenadiers have increased building time
- stronger janissary
- artillery depot upgrades for the cannon more expensive
- longer building time for mercenary dragoon and higher upkeep costs
- more lifepoints for pallisades
- decreased mortar capacity per artillery depot
- more living space for Algeria and Turkey
