In the first version of game, which was on physical discs, was no campaign except tutorial. Now I heard that exists an expansion, which adds campaign mode to Back to War. Is it included in this GOG version?

In addition: any chance to get Russian language in this series?

It appears they are absent. I'm rather surprised they aren't included. You can vote for it here.

It really depends on the publisher if we will see the Russian language in Cossacks. There have been a number of language centered updates recently so it is possible that it's coming. I wouldn't expect it any time soon though.

Thank you for the answer and for the link.

Just my two cents about Russian language. I 've played a Russian language version of the game, and was not impressed with the quality of the translation. It feels like a translation, and not a perfect one at that. This was why I decided to buy and play the English version instead (though in Russia, you can buy Russian version pretty cheap). Though for me as a native Russian speaker it would be much more preferable to play a Russian version of the game. However I always prefer the original to a translation.

In case of Cossacks, English version plays like the original, and Russian version plays like a translation.

Technically it WAS a translation, since game was made in Ukraine, so I assume they made Ukrainian language first. I remember I played Cossacks back home, in Russian. I miss it. Half the fun was hearing unit responses. English version feels... empty. Yes, Im Russian.

Hm-mm.. interesting. Though AFAIK almost everything in Ukraine is made in Russian. Look at Ukrainian movies, out of 10 maybe 1 or 2 is shot in Ukrainian, the rest are shot in Russian, I have no doubt the same situation is in game development. I thought they must have made the game in English from start since they were oriented on international sales from the beginning. Now I'm wondering if there is a Ukrainian version, it may be worth trying it to see if it is better than English.
