Interesting ideas. A couple thoughts right off.Rise of the Dragonlords
I like the idea of having the neutral units do something, but not so sure about outright replacing the season decks, especially to make them all "bad" for the players. Granted, it would potentially hurt all players evenly, but you don't necessarily want all of the seasons to just be devastating.
Perhaps instead, another deck of cards that goes with the seasons, maybe that trigger twice a year or something alongside certain seasons. One thought that came to my head is maybe something where you have 4 different seasons in one deck, with neutral related things, but shuffle them all together, and when the season matching the top card is up, you also reveal the card (and thus putting a new one on top). Then the Neutrals aren't always acting, but they can do something. Similar to the Expedition cards in Eldritch Horror in a way, sort of.
What would the victory be, too? Same as before, or some alternate victory to drive out the Dragonlords themselves?
Ascent of the Overlord
Capturing ALL the Dragon Runes could be too easy early, and nearly impossible later in the game. Even occupying each home realm would be very difficult. The OL player would need to have some significant bonuses to do this, more than just constant supremacies. But it is an interesting concept, too!
