If you are accustomed to playing standard RTS games the micro for any Total War game should be a piece of cake IMO, no offense to the Total War community. The battles in TW are slower-paced (due to the emphasis on realism) compared to something like Starcraft, and thus more forgiving; rarely will mere seconds of inattention turn an even battle into a crushing defeat, as is so often the case with a game like Starcraft.
Whether or not to buy Shogun 2 and NTW?
Well, you can wait for them to inevitably go on a weekend blow-out special on Steam and get them for dirt cheap (as I did =P), not to say they aren't worth paying full price for. But if you get any game from the Total War series you will indeed find that often times DarthMod is what takes the cake. This is particularly the case with Napoleon and Empire, IMO.
