[Sombre]

The Empire, like the Dwarfs, lose some of their units because I'm not putting gunpowder into the game. However they do get some replacements. The Steam Tank loses the gunpowder cannon, but will keep a steam based missile weapon it can fire off before trampling - it will be very hard to kill of course.

Generally the Empire are a bit like Marignon - some solid infantry, great knightly cavalry and the capability to have huge missile firepower (they get shortbows, crossbows and longbows).
