How can I set the camera controls to best mimic those in Shogun 2?

Picked up FOTS on the Steam sale. Really enjoying it. I'm fighting against the Emperor with as many traditional units as possible. I'm pleasantly surprised at how doable it is. Archers outrange standard gun units (140 vs 135) and katana & yari infantry can easily take them in melee. Ninjas make siege battles a cakewalk, too: -Position your ninjas (I always have at least 4 units) as near as possible to the keep. -Hold your ninjas at the start of the battle. Make sure they're not too close and are detected. -Use any artillery you have to blow open the gates (if you haven't sabotaged them), take out towers, thin numbers, etc. -Bumrush the walls with your main force and try to occupy as many of the enemy's units as possible. -Use your ninja's sprint and stealth ability to quickly get to and up the walls. Send one to cap the keep, starting the 60 victory counter, and the others to take over any towers and engage incoming units. I also like to keep any cavalry hidden in any trees/brush at the opposite gate when they're sabotaged before the battle. Once the main forces are engaged, I'll rush in and flank them with horsies. The pacing of everything feels increased, but not to a hurried degree, too. I'd been playing Empire before the Steam sale, and everything just felt so slow. Troops take forever to march, canon take forever to reload, etc. FOTS just feels so much more snappy. Maybe I never noticed it in Shogun 2 because of the lack of guns and artillery.

I've been having an issue with loading Shogun 2. Google says others have as well, but I've yet to find a fix other than running Steam in offline mode. Every time I try to launch, it gets to the splash screen then crashes the game with an error that steam detects I'm running a pirated copy of FotS or using a cheat program. I've reinstalled and deleted every trace of Shogun 2 from the registry multiple times, but I still get this error. I've used ESF a couple times in the past to mess with some save files, but that's it. I was actually playing the game just fine earlier in the morning on the same day this started happening.

This problem magically disappeared.  Hope it doesn't happen again.If I remove unit MODs I've downloaded, will it affect my save games at all, or will it just convert any MOD units to the vanilla one they were based off of?

I don't care what anyone says that's a robot horse and I want one.

For some reason I feel a bit silly asking this: are there any rifle type units in ROTS? I have FOTS, and while it's fun, I greatly prefer earlier periods to line infantry. I'm assuming there's a larger focus on bows and melee than rifles?

No, no there are not. The arquebusiers you get in vanilla are one of the earliest forms of mainline gunpowder troops in the world. The closest you'll get in RotS is an army of fire rockets.

I'm in the US, and all I can find are the Master Pack for $50 and Shogun 2 for $30 & ROTS for $10. I can wait for a sale.

I've been trying to play E:TW but it won't load for some reason. I made sure all files relating to E:TW were gone (including previous saves and settings under 'My Documents') and did a completely clean install from Steam. Whenever I try to laucn the game, Steam does its "launching" thing, the splash creen comes up, then nothing. I don't even get the black screen before the game loads. I completely uninstalled everything again and reinstalled using the discs. After letting steam run all the updates, I still end up with the same result. Running as an admin and/or in compatibility mode does nothing. I'm at a complete loss as to how to launch this game.

I verified the cache after it failed to run each time after both installs. It never came back with any problems. I even turned it off and back on again.
