Evaluation
Cossacks: Back to War is a standalone expansion that bundles the content of Cossacks: European Wars and Cossacks: The Art of War, released on Steam on September 2, 2010. The store description explicitly markets it as a "complete care package," and the short description echoes this framing. The game received one DLC — the Cossacks Campaign Expansion — which shipped on January 19, 2011. No further DLC has been released or announced since then. The developer has made no news posts of any substance, and there is no roadmap, announcement, or any other signal suggesting additional content is planned. This is a classic-era RTS title that launched as a finished product and received one content addition shortly after launch, with no post-launch development activity in the years since.
Evidence

About this game
To stand alone in war is extremely unpleasant. Extremely pleasant, on the other hand, is the stand-alone version Cossacks: Back to War. Containing all of the gameplay features of Cossacks: European Wars and Cossacks: The Art of War, this is a complete care package for all current and future Cossacks fans. This add-on contains 100 captivating missions taking place between the 16th and 18th centuries. In addition, two new nations, Switzerland and Hungary, are included. These countries waged war in the late Middle Ages and essentially influenced the development of European military strategies. This addition causes the second add-on of Cossacks to pass the threshold of allowed gaming fun.
