Hi guys, is CA still working on updating the game engine in the future...or they are now concentrate on the milk cow? if they still have plans for the free update on the games (not new units) then i sure will support them by getting the new dlc...Still hoping they can get the navy transportation issue fixed...
Yes there will continue to be free updates and the naval transport issue is being improved.
In case you need explanation...engine updates and the multiplayer campaign will always be free. Updates to the core game engine will be free.

Well simplest way to check is now when the game loads up there wont be the words 'New Content Available' in the bottom right conner and you will just see Steam store there.
Just load up a custom game and pick United States. The Marines and Legion troops are very easy to spot.
I got a very serious Problem...after this new unit update...My game now on City War...all building is flashing.....now you see now you don't macam chipmore.......shit man
IGN has posted a pretty decent strategy guide that is quite thorough. Just don't expect the unit stats to be accurate since CA has changed them often in the patches.
You can ignore the malware alert on the site. Don't download anything and you'll be fine. Currently reading it now. Has some interesting tactics that I have not thought about. Might comment later once if completely read it all.
Napoleon: Total War Info Leaked! Next Total War Title
It seems like some French total war fans received a little surprise in their mail. An article in the French magazine PC Jeux revealed new information about a title called Napoleon: Total War. Creative Assembly has released a press statement to stay tuned for an announcement this week at GamesCom. It is unclear still whether it will be an expansion pack or a standalone title. Image below:

Hurray, hope it is not a standalone game.....if to pay minimum for the DLC is okay too...

Someone managed to summarise certain bits:
Well yesterday I recieved a copy of my mensuel gaming magazine. It featured a preview of a TW game. Napoleon total war! There weren't many details, and I couldn't quite work out if the sp was restricted to playing the French. Some misc info;
- They reworking the battle gameplay which too "spartan" like in their opinion.
- The graphics have been improved quite signifianctly.
- Napoleon will be present on the battle field and will be compairable to "super general".
- CA are putting a particular emphasis on multiplayer this time around, new features include : a new avatar system; new steam acheivements; a uniform editor; and vocal order recognition.
Unfortunatly I can't provide anyscans of images since I don't have a scanner, plus the mag is French so a high number of you won't understand anything. I think I've mentionned the bulk of the new features included in the article.
The mp revamp sounds quite exciting.

Yes. But not as significantly as claimed. Some new moves but still not quite a force to be reckoned with. There are some good improvements to the AI from the new patches. I've seen Spain come in to help defend Paris for the under strength French(very surprised to see this).
Battle AI is okay now(as opposed to being poor in the previous games).
How does the Battle AI stand against those in Mediaval:Total War?
The previous games Rome and Medieval 2 aren't really that good in that respect.
Cavalry now has a very strong tendency to go around your army and charge your rear. Enemy uses cavalry to probe flanks more. This is good.
AI more conservative in using generals now. They don't charge head on anymore and will be kept back. But you might have opportunity to snipe them sometimes. Another good point.
AI seems to have very strong objective to take out artillery. This is the only flaw i found with cavalry as sometimes they charged artillery positioned in the center of your army. Often decimating them.
AI seems too aggressive in targeting your own probing cavalry often times moving many units to counter them. Probably need some tweaking.
Siege battles are not fun in Empire. There are issues with it that I hope will get better with the next pathc. But as of now, Siege battles are significantly worse than even M2TW(not because of AI really but the way they are in EMpire).
A new detailed North American Campaign Map expands the Empire: Total War experience, with 5 brand new American Indian factions, new units and technologies. Experience battles in the new Warpath Campaign and lead one of the 5 new factions in an epic war to defend your lands and drive out the invaders. Or take these units and their unique strengths into multiplayer battles.
5 New Playable Factions — Play through the new Warpath Campaign or in multiplayer as one of 5 new American Indian factions in Empire: Total War, including the Iroquois, Huron, Plains, Pueblo and Cherokee nations. Expanded North American Territories — A new, more detailed North American Campaign Map featuring new regions and a new start date. New Elite Units — Command new Elite units specific to each American Indian faction including Mohawk Elite Warriors, Cheyenne Dog Soldiers, Navajo Scout Warriors and many more. Shaman and Scout Agents — Two new agent types - Infiltrate enemy territory with the new Shaman unit and sabotage the opposition with the cunning Scout. New Tribal Technologies — 18 new tribal technologies including Spirit Medicine, the Call of the Wild and Dreamwalking creating a brand new tribal technology tree. New Objectives — New winning objectives for each of the playable factions. Once you've purchased the content, you will unlock the new Warpath Campaign and all 5 new American Indian factions. These factions can be played in single player and multiplayer games.
Priced USD$9.99. Avalaible October. Patch 1.4 is planned to be out tomorrow too.
