Cossacks: The Art of War is an expansion to the real-time strategy game Cossacks: European Wars, developed by GSC Game World and released in 2002. The expansion builds upon the original game while preserving its large-scale battles with thousands of units and the historical setting of 17th-18th century Europe.

Many aspects of the game were improved, including enhanced AI, new nations (Denmark and Bavaria) with unique units and buildings, support for maps 16 times larger, up to 8,000 units on the battlefield, a map editor, and more.

Cossacks: The Art of War received positive reviews for its depth of changes, improved balance, and additional content. It retained the spirit of the original while making the gameplay even richer and more convenient for both solo and multiplayer experiences.
