There are new ship types and the sea battles are similar to Empire Total war, but with certain tweaks and modifications which make controlling them far easier. The Campaign maps are more detailed and have more areas in the European Theaters compared to Empire Total War.

As the enemy closed in, I switched my cannon to grape shot and shrapnel and that was that, only handfuls of enemies survived running from the battle scene, my single Generals cavalry unit could not run them all down. The Austrians were pounded by my artillery, the cannon blast sound effects boomed through the house, and the smoke effects covered the screen making a true fog of war, and when the infantry joined in with well aimed volley fire, the enemy had no hope. I maneuvered my general sneakily behind the infantry as they advanced and wiped out the enemies artillery from the rear. I was lucky enough to place my forces in such a way that the only means of attack was a frontal assault by the enemy. In one battle I had two French line infantry unit, my general (Napoleon) and 4 artillery pieces with a army of about 400 or so soldiers against a combined force of about 2000 Austrians who had about 2 Cannon batteries. I found artillery very important in this game, with good massed artillery units, you can defeat an army twice the size. (Further DLC from Steam gives you a Peninsular Campaign and additional units.)
