ABOUT EMPIRE: TOTAL WAR - SPECIAL FORCES UNITS & BONUS CONTENT

In a time when a soldier's life could be given easily and quickly, it took extreme courage and determination for a true hero to forge a reputation for themselves.
Whether through harsh and highly disciplined training, generations of successful military tradition or world-leading technology, the Empire: Total War Elite Units are among the very best of the best.
