"the people who made our SoD, with Tazars and other imbalances)"
if it weren't for this "other imbalance," you and I could sign up for Tournaments-
"it's like shaving a pig—lots of squealing, but little hair!"
Did I understand correctly that you surrendered in a game with 5 Cons only because you didn't put birds on the first?
Why? Because there is no way to take these 5 Cons without birds. 5 psychos, 2 birds, a dozen and a half flyers, and a mediocre hero—it's not even certain they can take a second town, let alone others. Maybe I'm a nub and don't know how to use Conservatories, that's quite likely, but I don't think these troops are suitable for such purposes.
