Not for me, maybe for the new generation of players they can hit a nice place in the future. The community for me back in the shogun days was perfect and had many many memorable characters and great players not to mention a really well designed game. In terms of simple gameplay what alot of the newer players will never understand was the extreme importance of maps and every single feature on the map. Woods were of extreme importance as were hills even small ridges but there was also no hill that wasent takeable with the right team play or army movement.
Take the nagashima map for example there was many different ways to approach defence and offence, and battles were fought in stages, like stage 1 could the attacking army take the woods to the left of the defenders hill, then stage 2 could the attacking army use the treeline and their guns to outshoot the defenders on the hill (who had an advantage till this point) often more and more cavalry attacks would be made here to try to take away the attackers advantage of the treeline, the attacker could outshoot the defender at this point and the whole 4 armies each side would swivel to this new centre of the battle and the defender would have to cover their new left flank previously their rear, just too much to go into but it was absolutely amazing especially in heavy fog.
