The UNSC Leader Professor Anders is getting a slight whack with the nerf bat as well. Her Unique Unit upgrade, the Hawk, is being made more expensive, going from 900 to 1350 supplies. In addition, her Cryo Bomb upgrades are also going up by 50% at every level.
So far the info that has been released on the DLC: (Which looks to be paid because of the achievements listed)

Strategic Options ushers in the next wave of battle for Halo Wars with three new game modes which dramatically change the multiplayer experience and challenge you to rethink your battle tactics. All 3 game modes will be available in Skirmish or Multiplayer game types.
* Keepaway Mode: This is the Halo Wars adaptation of "Capture the Flag." Teams battle it out to capture a free-roaming Forerunner Sentinel to score points before the other team. Capture three to five sentinels to claim victory.
* Tug of War Mode: This mode is all about having a stronger army than your opponent. Defeating enemies is essential, but success is determined by a combination of the army, buildings, and resources left standing in the end.
* Reinforcement Mode: All active battle units are provided in successive waves. Adapt to their tactics and use the ever-changing set of units to outwit and outlast the enemy.
Strategic Options also adds four new Achievements worth a total of 100 points:
* One and Done: Score the winning point in a game of Keepaway against Legendary A.I.'s
* Pull Hard, Pull Deep: Win and never trail in a Tug of War game
* Freak on a Streak: Gain at least 15 population from a single wave in a Reinforcement game
* Living Loving Bug: Obtain a Scarab during a Reinforcement game
