Empire: Total War is getting a sizable content update in its next patch, including 11 free units. They aren"t completely new, but they should shake things up a bit for the various factions.

According to Creative Assembly (via Voodoo Extreme), the units are a "combination of new and replacement units." The replacements will take the place of generic units like the standard guard, which will now have unique uniforms and attributes depending on its faction.

"We?ve also given several factions access to units that are already in the game. So for example, the Dutch and Swedish factions can now access the Hussars unit. Something they were unable to do previously," they said in their message.
