It might be helpful for players to familiarize them selves with the Napoleon game interface, as it will be much closer to what will be used in Shogun2 than what they may remember from the original Shogun and Medieval games.
And guns are guns, though they may be less important in Shogun2 than in Napoleon, they still will have a significant role, and be something that Rome to Kingdoms players should learn to use.
Overall playing Napoleon is as close as you can get to Shogun2 right now, and any player and teamwork skills developed while we wait, will certainly be an advantage when the game is finally released.
