Please read this description. (Edit 2015: I haven't been answering comments for a couple of years and probably will continue not to.)
It is recommended that you ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL GAME FILES BEFORE ADDING MODS in the case that it fails to start up. Normally this should not happen unless you've done something wrong or added too many incompatible mods. That is why Mod Manager is recommended for most people when attempting to get several mods working together.
I am not an expert on this matter and all information is based on my own experiences and instructions I've read to get it done for myself. Thus I'd like to note that it is not my fault or responsibility if you screw up your game and it will not start - there are risks to doing this; not serious risks (unless you're very lazy) only minor risks that may involve manually deleting all your ETW files and reinstalling again.

In response to my Prussian ETW video, a couple comments and several messages asking how to get and/or install mods for the game. So this video is basically a visual instruction on the basics of how to install basic mods for ETW, basically.
Use single mod for example, find your own on TWCENTER.NET forums.
Mod Manager 1.5 (or 1.4) required for this method, though there are more than one way of installing mods. This is one of the easiest and least troubling.
Link for Mod Manager 1.5: www.twcenter.ne...
I would recommend getting the latest Unit Compatibility Project mod if you are going to be using lots of different unit mods. That way they will run a lot more smoothly together in the game.
If you feel that this basic tutorial does not help you, I would recommend that you try to find more information and read up about it. Total War Center .net should have sufficient information if you're not too lazy to look for it.
Note: If the case happens in which your E:TW game will no longer start up, then you most likely have incompatible mods that you've added. Removing mods that change similar things, changing the load order in the mod manager or finding compatibility patches will help to solve this issue sometimes. If problem persists then an important file has been changed and removed and you will need to reinstall (or use a backup).
Most mods generally go in to your Empire Total War folder (for me it is: Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/etw/data)
In rarer circumstances there will be mods that change files in C:/Users/"username"/AppData/Roaming/The Creative Assembly/empire/scripts (Vista/7)
