But I came across something. When Bramble makes a thorn it's a baby, but when that baby makes another thorn it becomes the mother. If the first mother is killed than they all die. But if the second mother is killed than only her and her child die. So I realized in order to make a tough wall I must have the majority of the thorns being children while the mothers remain in the back. Sorry if this sounds confusing. I realized this play could be used effectively in offense if you find a mother or effective in defense if you want Bramble to protect.

I think what you're trying to say is that if you build a thorn wall as a "chain", then it's easy to destroy, since you only have to break one link to kill everything downstream.

Therefore, you should build a wall as a "tree", where most of the vulnerable thorns are children, and the mothers are hidden away.
