I cannot. it was mention in this interview witch is now removed due mostly fact that it spread false information about poland being totally in hand of germans. In this interview it was stated that all military buildings will stand outside city walls so defenders will have to sall out to defend them from destroying.

That's being done by making region improvements - structures such as barracks, mines and palaces - exist outside of the city, vulnerable to attack. Generals can no longer afford to hide behind their city walls in the event of an invasion. They must sally forth and chase the aggressor away."

You forgot the historical characters (Peter the great of russia and Charles of sweeden..

Aditionaly, there will be 50 factions, but only 10 playable, i suggest that you split them up accordingly.. (dubt that the polish - lithuanians will be in the playable section.. )

This press release from CA also could allude to it

Empire Images And More Info!

Here's the relevant section

Empire: Total War contains a revolutionised Total War campaign spanning 3 continents and featuring new, enhanced systems for Trade, Diplomacy, Missions and Espionage. There will be an all-new fully animated campaign map with all buildings and upgrades visible. The campaign will also feature a huge cast of historical figures including Peter The Great, Malborough and Charles XII of Sweden. The game will include 10 playable factions including Britain, Prussia, France, Spain, America and the massive Ottoman Empire.

Of course that could just be referring to the UI and not a barracks somewhere in a province.
