Possible gameplay variation: "Imperial Army" RTS; AI vs AI with you playing the dragon and nothing else. (Basic idea, anyhow.)
I don't know if dragon gameplay holds up, and unless you like to watch, you'll want to go to dragon form immediately (which is a huge advantage unless something else is tweaked for that mode).
* I think somebody else suggested something like it
* There are people who like being dragons more than being generals
* It's a nice variation
* Dragon is already OP
If you want more work for the dragon, perhaps you get to pick your own AI's skill. (Make yours "easy", the enemies "hard" and give your dragon a field day.)
Most of the components should be in place already (the AI exists).
Dragon tweak (option): No recruit cost, no delay, 1 life. (For some battles that's a serious boost, since you can eradicate your enemy right away, but in big battles where you need the dragon, it might add some excitement. <Maybe> You can still win the battle army vs army when shot out of the air.)
Actually, that option could work for multiplayer too. Two dragons in vicious combat high above the battlefield.
DC has many games, and you can choose to focus on a few of them, but I find the dragon gameplay least available. (You must play the RTS to get to it, and you must stick with the RTS while playing it.)
