I was just thinking that the the Shogun warfare and Napoleonic warfare had many things in common. From the lesser role of cavalry, the draft infantry, the firearms (well, they were certainly better during Napoleon, of course). Yes, if they reduce/even eliminate the cannons in the warfare, it will be OK. Cannons had an insignificant role outside the sieges in Medieval Japan and they were imported, not really produced in Japan.
I also loved the chess-like risk-style map of MTW. I wonder if they will incorporate at least some of its elements in the new Shogun (though I think I know the answer).
