Don't worry too much about this, we probably won't encounter boss outside campaign in normal circumstance anyway.
It will be possible to place a boss on maps, so I'm sure there will be some on solo maps and even on MP maps.
It would even be great to have a victory condition "Defeat boss X"

That's why I said "in normal circumstance". I meant in standard skirmish maps where the objective is only "destroy all".

HYPOTHETICAL IDEA FOR A MAP.
Cool custom scenario could have a few bosses scattered around the map, probably quite far from any towns.
Whenever you beat a boss, you get control of that boss and it joins your army. (only once per boss per game.)
And you can only own one boss at a time.
Eyes of the Magi + Huts of the Magi allow people to keep track of which bosses have been claimed.
Might lead to some very interesting battles. 
Probably best to mod a few bosses to not be to imba.
Just a brain fart, I get them.

Oh but it could be used with that condition, too in some great ways. For example an option that every player has a seperate area which the others can't reach until they defeat the defending boss - while this player can use a coloured garrison (or doorway, or however these are named in english^^) to pass in and out of their lands.
Bur that's probably not normal conditions anyway, too.

Even then, I'm surprised you've never even heard the concept of boss. First point: You can't recruit boss therefore you can't use them except maybe if someone release a mod or something. Second: Boss are there for your extra challenge (stronger and sometimes requires special way to defeat) and often are related to the story. Third: Boss usually consist of one single entity (although multiple entity/parts/"can split up" are not unheard of), can followed by his/her/it henchmen/army/etc. Fourth: The final battle of a game containing boss usually are against an uber-powered-boss, take it as the hardest challenge of the game if you want (although stronger secret bosses are not unheard of).
This is only a guideline not an absolute rule.
Well, I guess I have played against them...sorta. I played Diablo I and met the Butcher But no, I've never heard the word "Boss" before, except the much-less-fun real life meaning

I was a bit skeptical about bosses at first but I have to admit this looks great. I'd love to see bosses that also use the dynamic battlefield to their advantage and perhaps even change it, e.g. leaving craters after massive attacks.

I like the idea of having bosses in the game.
And i love the fact that dragons are bosses now!!! They deserve to be strong enough to oppose an entire army, cuz they are friggin DRAGONS!!!!
I can not wait to fight them)) a bit sad you can not have them as an part of line up though... but still i will stress on it, Mighty Dragons Should be really Mighty!!!

And why couldn't bosses be used on a MP map?
What's the difference between 30 dragons defending a rich pass and a huge single boss?

A boss is cooler? Also who says they can't be used in MP?

I don't know, I have read too many posts of people assuming bosses wouldn't belong on an MP map...
