I love the non-game mode

Conquest enemies aren't PVP enemies and they are also not TB enemies. That's something every player has to figure out and learn to counter. You don't defeat Conquest Ewoks the same way you do your opponent's Ewok team in GAC. Smart use of disks and your own roster is exactly the puzzle of Conquest. If there's a tm team on the next node, throw JMK at it. No JMK? FO with Hux. Jabba, Trench, and GG have reactive tm. LV's tm can't be manipulated. Malak will apply Fear passively and interrupt enemy tm trains. Han always goes first. Wat's tm tech gives you tm every time the enemy begins a turn. JKL lead will reduce enemy speed to match his own. Gungans get bonus turns when enemies take consecutive turns.

There are plenty of options.
