The August Warriors Update, a free download, adds unique units to the game and upgrades various aspects of the Suebi faction. Also available today is the Daughters of Mars Unit Pack, which adds units to the rosters of Rome, the Lusitani, Suebi and Sparta. It is available for $2.99 on Steam now.
You can watch a trailer for the Daughter of Mars Unit Pack below to get a preview of the new warriors that will be added. The units can be recruited as mercenaries in specific regions if you're not playing as any of the factions mentioned above.

SEGA and The Creative Assembly have been busy with the Total War series as of late, releasing several updates and announcements over the past several weeks. Both Rome II and Shogun 2 have been ported to Mac (Rome II will be free on Mac for owners of the PC version), and a large Rome II patch fixed many of the game's siege issues.
Prior to those announcements, the developers brought Rome: Total War and Medieval 2: Total War multiplayer back online via Steam, following their shutdown alongside the Gamespy servers.
