However, memory being finite and the Warlords series being as old as it is (meaning from the early to mid 1990s), it was not the first comparison to come to mind.

That's a good point... I didn't like the Warlords serie much, but it certainly does bear a good deal of resemblance to CoE3.

Based on the screenshots, I was thinking more alongside a simpler Dominions mixed with some Masters of Magic / Age of Wonders due to the map grid and "squad" gameplay. Warlords is certainly a more apt comparison to CoE3, what with extremely simple gameplay elements and the massive luck elements (Warlords had an extremely binary approach to unit battles if I remember well).
