This game is fucking awesome. The ship battles are so much fun. Land battles work pretty much exactly the same as the last Total War game.

There are a few annoying things but I'm sure they'll get worked out in the patches. For example, you can't initiate a naval attack on a port occupied with ships. Also, there are some land bridges that work and some that don't. The south-Denmark bridge doesn't let troops cross, but the bridge at Gibraltar does.

Overall this game rocks though.

I just downloaded the demo of this. I've been rocking the Relic/THQ strategy games at the moment. Dawn of War 2 kicks some shit.
