Even with the most complex neutral creatures, it's easier to cope than with an average player, provided you assess the situation adequately.
To defeat a player, you must first defeat the neutral creatures. The faster and more efficiently you deal with them, the higher your chances of success. For example, someone might be able to take the Conservatory on day 121, while someone else can only take it on day 125. And the one who took it on day 121 can then take Utopia on day 125, gaining tempo and winning the game. It's strange that I even have to explain this.

This doesn't need to be written. I didn't say that we shouldn't handle them with quality, I said that it's easier to do.

I'm sure that it's easier to position units with ranged attacks at the top, and my experience confirms this. But if there are strong melee units, it's sometimes more advantageous to place them at the bottom. Or, for example, Ranged-1-1-many-1-1-1.
Also, if there's a ballista, I sometimes place units at the top.

I saw a really cool move from Alex – for example, when defending a Castle, you can detach a single unit from the ranged troops to make it easier to transport melee units.

Romych, it doesn't necessarily have to be an arrow; you can use a griffin or a fake unit for this purpose... unless, of course, we're talking specifically about a battle with Valkyrie, who has marks with a speed of 8.

Romich, you don't necessarily need a ranged unit for this; you can use a griffin or a fake unit instead... unless, of course, you're specifically talking about a battle against Valkyrie, who has marks with a speed of 8.

I think the neutral creatures will be more likely to attack a ranged unit. Or is that not what you meant?

Zhenya, the point is that a two-cell griffin + an archer works even better.
There's also another strategy specifically for War of the Titans. Changing the archer mod to melee attack changes their value for stompers.

Sometimes, it's harder to properly protect the ranged units in the lower row and the main stack with level 1 units, as the lower units hinder the movement of the upper ones. Rampart is a prime example of this.
Please, rephrase it more clearly.

It's usually easier to lure neutral "topters" downwards, as the upper units hinder the movement of the lower ones, and overall, they crawl slower.
Sorry for the lack of clarity - how do they hinder? With their bodies?

I'm sure it's easier to maneuver ranged units when they're positioned above. My experience confirms this.
I suspected something similar and started this poll. Share specific examples, please!

I saw a very cool move from Alex - for example, when defending a castle, separate a level 1 unit from the ranged unit so that it's easier to move the "topters."
Probably, "move"? Maneuver them across the field, if there aren't any fast level 1 units for this purpose?

The point is that a two-cell griffin + works even better with ranged units.
Oops, how did we miss this in development? I tried to test this a long time ago, and I remember that it made no difference. Tell me in detail - how does this manifest, and what else does it depend on? I'm sure many, if not all, will be interested.

I place the archers at the bottom and top, and if there are 3 types, I also place them in the center.
