Trivia

Many GSC Gameworld developers have a cameo appearance in American Conquest. An example is Oleg Yavorsky as an 18th century English officer in of of the missions (also look at this photo - it's Oleg)! Also, Oleg is on the box cover twice as an American native. Other developers can be found on the box cover, too!
