Maybe I'm not a newbie anymore, but I have a question. They say that Conservatories are taken by creating a pocket for archers, but for some reason, when I play as Castle or Rampart, if there isn't an upgraded stack of Griffins, they almost always attack the archers in the first round, even though I place them in the 3rd and 6th positions. This also happens with an upgraded stack, although not often. Today, I took a risk and took a level 1 Conservatory with an upgraded stack while playing as the Tower with Solmyr on day 113. CS=2, knowledge 50. Although the upgraded stack didn't attack the Gremlins and I tried my best to make the Griffins deal little damage to the shield, they broke through it. Luckily, they dealt more damage to the 6 Golems than to the 10 Gargoyles. I was left with 3 Gargoyles and 70 Gremlins in two stacks of 6 and 8 Griffins each. (I took the Conservatory, losing the entire shield and 2 Gremlins, because Solmyr still had enough mana for one Haste spell, and a Gremlin ran away so that the Griffins wouldn't reach it, and the Gargoyles flew to the other end so that only one stack could reach them, but they both flew after it...) And what if one of the stacks had morale? And what if Solmyr didn't know the Haste spell, then would it be impossible to create a pocket? I'm very surprised when I see people taking Conservatories on the first day, or immediately rushing to a level 2-4 Conservatory without an upgraded stack on the second day. Is it just me who has these problems with taking Conservatories, where every time you discover a Conservatory and every time the Griffins move, you need nerves of steel, and the slightest miscalculation in the Griffins' damage, morale, or an archer attack in the first round leads to a loss? I read about taking the maximum number of Conservatories on the second day with Rampart; it said that 1 Dryad in the second stack survives and holds the upgraded stack. But I checked, and sometimes it doesn't survive... These Conservatories just annoy me! They are the reason for most of my defeats. Why, when I see a Conservatory, do I immediately get upset, first because I have to somehow defeat its guard and check what kind of Conservatory it is, and second, because it might be a level 2-4 Conservatory without an upgraded stack, and I'm already thinking about how I can lose in it, while many people are happy that they have it, as if they aren't afraid of losing in it... Does anyone else have the same problem as me?
