A DLC question for CA. (not a criticism thread)

[KingIzzystero]

Dear CA,

I am currently playing Empire Total War as the British. I am having lots of fun. One of the things that really disappoints me however is that the Eastern factions still do not have their elite units. It was easy enough as the British before but now I am disappointed that the Maratha Confed still line their standard units against my elite.

As Kieran said on this forum, you will not support ETW anymore (even though you would like too but can't due to the corporate reality which I can live with). Will you however release Elite Units of the East and when? Also, I suspect that should you indeed release them that woukd be your last DLC for Empire? (Hope not).

Thanks again for your good work and looking forward to Napoleon TW (I preordered Emperor's Edition so I get the statue),

I would rather see a package of about 30 units released without any specific name on it like units of the east or such, but just something that fixes up Sweden, Poland, Maratha Confederacy and Ottoman Empire.

Unique elite regiments and more factions specific replacements would be great, like faction specific dragoons, light infantry and riflemen.

[KingIzzystero]

That would be sweet Inhuman One but oinly if they dont actually replace any units. I don't want units replaced, i want units added.

[GaMMwl]

You don't want different looking line infantry for the factions?? The exact same looking guys just in different colours spoils the immersion pretty much for me...

[KingIzzystero]

Fair enough, if they could replace these with other line infantry etc... I guess I'm very easy to please, lol

According to CA, an Elite Units of the East Pack is currently in the works, so you can expect to see one come out in the very near future.

[KingIzzystero]

Thanks erasmus777, hope it comes soon. It will be interesting to see how many British units they will put in. Hopefully a maximum of three and the rest goes to Marathas, the Ottomans, etc...

Hehe. Well, there were a lot of Brits in the East in 1700. You know, East Anglia, East Yorkshire, East Sussex... You wouldn't expect CA to simply ignore them, would you?

[KingIzzystero]

No, but then again I wouldn't expect CA to ignore the factions from the "EAST" eaither. Just hope for a good balance.

[Inhuman One]

I dont think they ever will release an elite units of the north package though, since Russia is pretty fleshed out already and its just Poland and Sweden.

Then again, only the two playable factions would probably get the extra units from elite units of the east.
Not that I mind, that would mean about 7 extra units for the Ottoman and Maratha rosters.

[rubenandthejets]

Mods will fulfill all your desires until the DLC packs come out. The Ottomans have had a complete work over. Check them out in the mod threads.

[Inhuman One]

I prefer reskins and official stuff mostly, next to that I do use Ornamentum.

[eatme]

We can wait and hope for some beefy DLCs or just look to the mods. Ottoman Empire mod is fine work at refreshing the faction as already mentioned. Also my personal favorite for many factional units redone is Regalia of Nations.

I think they should enable the Mughal and Portugal with specific units since they were in India too.

im currently playing as the Mughals their infantry sucks, but they have a sweet heavy cav

[KingIzzystero]

Ok, so EUOE are coming. According to a forumer at http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic...nt.html?page=3, Dionysius the Mighty, CA are currently testing the units against all other ones (including the DLC) and will select whichever units work best without unsettling the game.

Most units will be Marathas' and Ottomans'.

[Inhuman One]

select? did they make more units than they plan to put in the DLC then?

[KingIzzystero]

Well, according to the source above, from my last post, they always make a number of units and then select the ones that are most suitable in terms of gameplay. So, yes.

[Inhuman One]

I would like them to release those left out units as an optional pack then, maybe even free since it "disturbs the balance" according to them. They just need to give those units suitable status.
