Game Description

Strategy gamers can join the Prussian Kingdom or its Austrian, Russian, and French adversaries and re-create the Seven Years War in Rise of Prussia. There are 20 different playable scenarios, broken down into a dozen key battles, seven annual campaigns, and one grand scenario that spans the entire war. Players get a 2D view of the action, with the map broken into more than 1,000 different regions in which to wage war, and gamers can head into battle using over 200 historical leaders and more than 300 military units. The Unique Command System lets grognards customize their organizational structure, and a new unit construction feature allows for enhanced troop purchasing and control during the "Annual" and "Grand" campaigns.
