Creative Assembly has confirmed that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will each receive five new unique units in the Fates Divided Chapter Pack, with Liu Yan receiving two respectively.

You'll also be able to recruit units from the Northern Army who will pledge themselves to either Cao Cao or Yuan Shao when their faction leader reaches rank seven. This will give them five Northern colonels and can be assigned to characters to access the Northern Army Units.

It's worth noting that only the character who has the colonel equipped can recruit the units. Once equipped, the colonels cannot be unequipped.

A colonel can be assigned to someone else however if the character dies - and you can steal an enemy’s colonel if you capture the character after a battle... how sly!
