The Creative Assembly decided to improve and add onto the land units and battles for their recent 1.3 patch for Empire: Total War. However the development team behind the recent historical RTS game is already prepping for their 1.4 patch and this one will make some improvements in the game's naval battles.

In a post on the game's official message board, the team states they hope to "create greater diversity between different ship types along with improving the overall game play of the battles." What does this mean? Well, it means that for the upcoming 1.4 update, the high powered Ships of the Line will still be powerful but will have "low accuracy, slow turn speed and lower range compared to frigates and small ships." That means the patch will bring "a new dynamic and rock, paper, scissors element" to the game's naval battles. There's no word on when the patch will be released.
