TOURNAMENT TROUBLES!

Here we are talking about you weakening the troops in the conservatory in TWO attempts. There are also neutrals sitting there, and one slot is upgraded.

And you're saying it will disappear if you attack the conservatory and retreat? No, it won't disappear. The discussion is exclusively about neutral armies that stand on the map and guard artifacts, objects, passages between obstacles... Or just stand there... This has absolutely nothing to do with guarding various buildings (conservatory, Dwarf Cottage, etc.) in principle. So everything is fine. If you don't have the time or desire to figure this out yourself — don't project that onto others.
