Eleven free units for Empires

Heres the announcement:

Quote :

Hello everyone,

Yesterday we announced the first free unit. Today I would like to talk about them. The aim of the free units is to increase the graphical and unit variety of several factions rosters. We will also be using them to introduce more balance variety between factions as well. Some are new, some are replacement for existing units in some factions rosters. There will be 11 free units that have brand new models and textures, there are also several units that already exist in-game but are not used in the release version that are being added into rosters, and some factions will be gaining access to units they currently cannot get.

Some people have been asking why we are working on these free units whilst there are still fixes to be done. The work on the free units is not taking away time for fixes, the free units do not require any work from coders just work by artists and by a designer(me). So we can, and are working both on fixes, and on this extra free content for you all.

Hells ya

What does that even mean

Wow, looks like Prussia is getting alot of love.

Heres the new units thus far: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=265882

Hmm it's actually 14 units.

11 new models and 3 unlocked units that were currently in the game but unavailable to players

this is awesome news.

I WISH THEY WOULD UNLOCK SCOTLAND

I think alot more people are going to be using Prussia.

o these aint free. Theyre 3.49

No, these are free. The 14 Elite Units of the West DLC are what costs $3.49.

Additionally, the first downloadable content for Empire: Total War is now available on Steam. The Elite Units of the West DLC features an *additional* 14 new units from all the major Western factions. Featuring all new infantry and cavalry units, equipped with the best weapons and having undergone the most rigorous of training, this DLC is the perfect addition to your Empire's army. Expand your Empire with even more options on the battlefield as you improve your tactics and defeat your enemies.

Seems like a decent enough price to me. I'll probably be picking those up. At least they don't cost as much as the special forces units :/

Yep, I believe I'll have to get those.
