If you look at one of the trailers, it looks like a land based army fighting a navy army... or at least some artillary attacking some ships.

I'm not sure which trailer you're referring to, but CA has explicityly stated navy/army coordination is simply not possible with the current engine/technological issues.
They did express interest in it, but said "ETW isn't the game for it," suggesting it will appear perhaps in the future. I'd like that, but again, engine support would be difficult.
Instead of DRM, CA/SEGA are going to require STEAM, of course they'll support offline mode as well, but my guess is that they spent a lot of money on this, they don't want the damn thing to be pirated. Tbh, I'm ok with it, it's better than giving a shitload of DRM on its ass.
Also, so far 8 playable factions have been confirmed.
France, Great Britain, Sweden, Ottoman Empire, United Provinces (Dutch), Russia, Spain, Prussia
I bolded all the ones I thought were iffy. So far the list seems pretty solid, and the Road to Independence Trailer showed the player playing as the Austrian Empire (I think its the Austrians) so I think they're in as well.

As i've grown old and decrepit, I no longer wait anxiously for games. Two exceptions to my curmudgeon status however: Starcraft 2 (finally) and ANY TOTAL WAR game.
However, I do have one fear: Generally, the way I play strategy games, I tend to do better with lower tech traditional infantry/calvary type setups. I owned Rome: Total War in a way i didn't quite in Medieval. I don't know how I'll adjust with the more modern type of warfare.

Its just an opportunity to get some extra cash, I guess.

Check that link out, it's in Turkish, but there are some pretty rare screenshots that are high res and look very promising for Empire.

Very interesting that it did, PC Gamer said it's: Immense, Intricate, Intensely detailed, and that it's not: Easily Mastered, Just a "quick go," and "it's not done yet."
No mention anywhere about bugs, which if I recall, was the a huge gripe about Medieval 2, so I have great hope!
