Greetings Commanders, Firstly, a huge thanks to everyone who joined us with such excitement last week when we announced that: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41808008/947ab4602c488ae348f80c889ec5f106e84ae716.png[/img] Of course, one of the main highlights of releasing the game into 1.0 are the new units that you’ll be able to command. Supplement your rosters, experiment with new tactics, and find those unit combinations that work best for you. Each unit will also come with their own abilities for those surprise battlefield maneuvers that can so easily change the tide of battle. Let’s take a look at the 4 new units reinforcing the ranks of our 3 factions.
