Vic, I can't keep up. Why was a random layout introduced in the new Griffin Conservatory hives in the mirror template? It's a waste of an extra hero, usually one that's needed. And it generally adds chaos to the game.

A hero should never be wasted under any circumstances. The size of the Griffin Conservatory is indicated when you step on it, and the layout can be found by right-clicking on the Griffin Conservatory. If the guards are listed there as A-B-C-D-E, the layout will be:
D____A
_____E
C____B

The random layout was introduced to reduce grinding and encourage more "situational" analysis.

P.S. By the way, this simple fact is mentioned in the manual. Even though Russians don't read instructions, still...

P.P.S. Did you seriously think that someone like me, such an advocate against chaos in Heroes, would implement an undetectable random layout? :)
