    Will the units added be added additionally to multiplayer? Does anybody know?

    No, they have just spoken of 28 new units without saying which ones.

    It's typical trick by CA. Watching some screenshots I noticed that some of the units are just existing units from other nations in NTW just different color. So I noticed the unit card of Landschutzen in Spanish rooster.

    That would be pretty sweet =D
    I only played empire for a few weeks before i gave up on it, and i only got back into it a few weeks before NTW we released, so i never knew that.

    I thought they would do something like this.
    They will probably rename them something like "franco-spanish skirmishers" or something along those lines.

    I can see either one of two things happening.
    They won't add any at all because it would imbalance it too much for those who haven't bought it. It seems to me like its more of a single player campaign anyway.

    the other thing i can see happening is them adding a limited roster of units, mostly for Spain and Portugal, rounding them off so they have a unit roster more comparable to austria, britain, etc...
    I can't see them adding every new unit from the single player campaign to Multiplayer though, mostly because of the new Guerilla units that can be deployed outside the deployment zone.

    The British have Portuguese units, while the guerilla lancers and tiradores can increase the frequency of people using Spain online for sure.

    Spain also get "Lanceros" which will hopefully put them on the same scale as other lancer-wielding nations. All they need now is a howitzer.

    Since this Peninsular Campaign DLC is most like the Warpath campaign from E:TW, one might ask if Warpath's units were incorporated into E:TW's multiplayer.
    Still playing Napoleon:TW

    Could someone who has the DLC provide a list of the new units available? I would really appreciate it.
