Then I am sorry, but AussieGiant had it right. ETW is not for you. Total War is all about the battles. Don't get me wrong - the hook to keep fighting the battles is Empire management and I would not touch it if there was not a campaign. But what the series does that no other games do is model the battles in a way which is both cinematically impressive and a decent historical war simulation.
