+{{ii}} Cossacks: The Art of War 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.
+:* Choose "Slow Mode"
+:* Decrease the "Game speed" by approximately 10%.
+:* Save the settings and go play the game.
+{{ii}} If the game is still fast, grab [http://cossacksworld.ucoz.co.uk/forum/38-474-1 ACClock] or [http://boredwookie.net/index.php/blog/cpugrab-net/ CPUGrab].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141205065614/http://mastersofthefield.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3139 The New and Improved Way to Control Game Speed! • Mastersofthefield (retrieved)]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141205065559/http://mastersofthefield.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2260 Another way to control Game Speed • Mastersofthefield (retrieved)]</ref> If the game reverts back to fast mode, press CTRL+D in-game.
