I am a bit conservative when it comes to video games. I have tried a few games that were popular or made a big impact when they came on (WoW, Path of Exile, Diablo, etc.) but I always go back to the same games I've been playing for ages (heroes, bomberman, mortal kombat, etc).
Sounds like we're a lot alike in this regard. I'm even in the process of getting rid of my iPad in favor of a Windows tablet just so I can do some things I was doing with a PC for almost 15 yrs!
If you prefer to play conservative and are enjoying the game, more power to you. I think playing against the computer is as much reason to play as cutting edge as possible. Hell, there's even some games I just play through the first month and then start over. I could probably finish the game (sometimes I do) to have a better understanding of endgame tactics and the like. But for me, just beating the map by overcoming my every obstacle and understanding how to make better decisions with limited visibility is the fun for me.
To expand on the flexibility I mentioned before, I'm in the middle of a game now that I had a rough start in. I had enough money to build for unicorns and upgraded elves and hire them. On day six though, it was clear money was going to be dry. So rather than build citadel and castle as I normally do, I instead built town hall and citadel. I had fewer creatures available week two, but I was able to buy them all, which allowed me to push forward.
By the end of week two, I really had to surge to be able to build for dragons. Day one of week three, I had to surge more and trade half of my resources just to be able to recruit my dragons, unicorns, elves, and centaurs. It paid off though as the first conservatory I found, I was able to take while only losing three fodder centaurs. Took the two angels I got from that and fought a second conservatory. Lost half my centaurs there, but got three more angels and am now on my way to attacking the third.
I was able to trade in an artifact for 50 zombies, so I have a side hero using those to slowly amass extra wealth. And I've uncovered enough shroud to identify three dragon utopias, two of which I have easy access to. It's week 3 day 5 and I'm just a few days to being ready to attack one (usually wait for dragons to be upgraded and have more than just three). To me, I've already beaten the map whereas in a conservative play style, I'd only just be starting to engage the map.
Up to you. Just wanted to make the case that you're missing half the fun of Rampart.

First of all, point taken. Secondly, you seem to be a better player than me which I am fine with since I'll never play against you 
Thirdly, you may be right about the missing of the fun, but... but... nothing. I just don't know what reply to give you LOL

imo there is no conservative way to play h3, since if you go on a normal-rich map capitol first without a reason(one reason would be, that u stick to centaurs) you have actually LESS money then with maybe 4th-6th+castle
but surely skip on those bummer units like zombies
but well, cant say that, cuz ZOMBIES ARE DA BOMB XD
