Empire: Total War Special Forces Edition Elite Units
- HMS Victory — The Royal Navy's most distinguished and formidable
first rate ship of the line; Lord Nelson's 104 gun flagship is one of
the most heavily armed ships of the 18th Century.
- Rogers' Rangers — Major Robert Rogers' company of rangers
are highly trained elite light infantry, specializing in reconnaissance
and special operations. They are extremely mobile in even the most
challenging environments.
- Ottoman Organ Gun — A viciously powerful field gun, able to
inflict incredible damage on the opposing army. Emphatic proof of the
Ottoman Empire's advanced knowledge of gunpowder and firearms
technology.
- Ghoorkas — "Better to die than be a coward" has been the
motto of these elite Nepalese soldiers for centuries. Disciplined,
tough and courageous, they carry a deadly 18-inch long, curved knife
known as the kukri.
- Corso Terrestre Guerillas — An independent light infantry
guerrilla regiment, experienced in skirmish and stealth tactics.
Surprise raids and ambushes are the guerillas' favoured tactics, a way
to compensate for their limited number and light armour.

with a fearsome reputation for hardiness. Exceptionally tough and
resilient, they make for a highly flexible and dependable regiment.
Empire: Total War Features
- The debut of Naval Combat.
The standout feature and the greatest
embodiment of Empire. The single most requested feature from our Total
War fans and perhaps the last great untapped area within RTS gaming.
- An all-new setting...
The 18th century was a time of
empire-building and revolutions. The birth of the United States of
America, the expansion of territories across the world, unrest and
reformation that fundamentally changed the world and created the first
true global superpowers.
- ...requiring all-new strategies.
Gunpowder has triggered
an arms race. Massive ships bristling with cannon fight against each
other in huge fleets while massed ranks of musket men and field guns
face off over the battlefields of Europe, America and India.
- Episodic Campaign Mode.
Alongside the classic, open
'Grand Campaign' game mode now sits a new 'Road to Independence' mode,
a more traditional linear RTS experience designed to appeal to RTS
gamers and introduce them gradually to the incredible size of the Total
War experience.
- Unparalleled multiplayer.
The most significant
multiplayer feature set yet included in a Total War game. A remarkable
selection of verses modes with improved match-making and further,
groundbreaking announcements to come...
