+ | {{ii}} Like [[Cossacks: European Wars|Cossacks]], the other title from GSC Game World, American Conquest features a unique engine timing system. While the games' speed is still dependant on the CPU clock, like many older titles, they offer a flexible speed setting in the options menu to enable the user to tweak the speed to his liking. | ||
+ | {{ii}} To make the game more bearable, make sure to: | ||
+ | :* Go to the game settings. | ||
