CoE3 game variation ideas

[Jack_Trowell]

There are some very good ideas here, thanks for the exemples Gandalf.

I'm curious about what ressources are needed by the Warlock exactly ?

Also, what armies starting with no caster get to have one later (or some other form of upgraded commander that is not a direct upgrade of your starting commander like the lich or vampire) ?

I already know that the Troll king can get his Mom, but it's linked to a random event chain, so you probably cannot get her every game I suppose ?

Also, does some non mage commanders get ritual like abilities too ?
Those rituals are some of the part that I like the most from what I see of the game and I wonder if I will find the warrior-types as fun to play as the mage.
