    -> Installation <-

    Please carry out the following steps in order to install
    the game:

    1.  Place the Cossacks CD-Rom in your CD-Rom drive
        and close it.
    2.  If the Autorun function of your CD-Rom drive is
        activated, the installation program will start
        automatically. if this is not the case, you will have
        to start the program CSETUP.EXE in the root directory
        of the Cossacks CD-Rom manually by double-clicking.
    3.  Follow the instructions of the installation
        program.
    4.  Note: Cossacks - The Art of War is an extension
        for Cossacks: European Wars. This means that a
        original version of Cossacks: European Wars has to be
        installed on your computer.
    5.  We hope you'll enjoy Cossacks - The Art of War !

    -> Important <-

    1. Your monitor (and your graphic card) must support a
       1024x768 resolution for the game to run. If your
       monitor (or your graphic card) supports only
       resolutions lower than 1024x768, Cossacks will not
       run.

    2. You must have an installed version of DirectX 6.0 or
       higher on your computer for the game to run. If you
       do not already have DirectX installed, you can
       install it from the game CD.

    3. When testing we discovered that old sound cards in
       ISA slots and sound cards with Yamaha XG chipsets
       with old drivers lead to computer problems. This
       problem can only be eliminated by installing the
       latest drivers for these sound cards.

    4. If you experience crashes while playing Cossacks,
       use the program SoundConfig.exe, located in the
       installation folder of Cossacks, to reduce the
       number of supported channels.

  **********************************************************

    In most cases you will not need the program "Internet
    Game Setup". However, if you play Cossacks via a proxy
    and through a firewall in the internet, problems may
    arise when you download clan icons. In order to solve
    these, just start the program "Internet Game Setup", set
    the proxy to "enable" and then enter the address of the
    proxy and the port. You can find these for instance in
    the internet explorer under Tools->Internet Options->
    Connection->LAN Settings.
