Thought I may as well make this up.
Replace the startpos.esf in this directory:
\Steam\steamapps\common\empire total war\data\campaigns\main

Most original unplayable factions have no objectives, and when you load in, no correct line of sight.
To rectify (and be able to do something) click on lists, down the bottom right, then move an army unit. That will grant you line of sight and you can play as normal.
