Next patch for Empire: Total War has received some initial detailing and it seems the game is in line for a content update. This will take the shape of, among others, eleven free units. While all of these may not be new – Creative Assembly says the units are a “combination of new and replacement units” – but they will certainly shake things up on several factions’ rosters. Creative Assembly promises that brand new models and textures will greet the gamers. As far as bug-fixes are concerned, Creative seeks to remove any fears. Designer Jack Lusted says:

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.

That’s just great. The update is promised free of charge on Steam very soon. Also promised are details on individual units on game’s forums in near future.
