VERY new here so please forgive if this is a redundant or obviously off-target suggestion. Tried search and didn't seem to see it...
It might be interesting to have a tournament mode where single players control 2 or 3 parties in the tournament. The CC equivalent of NATO-style command, perhaps, where you have 2 or 3 different forces at your command, but you have to guide them independently and not a one huge unit. It might also help folks build tourney skills faster, as they'd be playing both sides of a partnership or triumvirate. To be clear: it would need to be absolutely transparent that this mode was in play. It could let 2 people lead 6 armies against each other, which could be interesting.
