Kash

Kash (red, Tower, Nella, Nella) draw wr35 (blue, Castle, Valeska, Dessa), 2sm4d(3), 127
I'm writing to introduce a decently skilled newcomer, a fellow countryman of mine. He piqued my interest by asking to play on 8-minute timer (he said he hadn't played in a while..), then studied the HeroesWorld rules and gave clear, well-reasoned observations. By the way, the guy prefers TE.
Not expecting serious resistance, I scribbled myself a Tower to practice because I'm bad at it :)
In short, I have a double, with a Dragon Utopia and an external Naga dwelling on both respawns, a Medusa dwelling, a Naga Bank, a Dragon Fly Hive, and a mini-crypt. 3 external Gremin dwellings are not very convenient.
My opponent has a Conflux secondary, 3 Griffin Conservatories on the respawns (but no Slow anywhere and the Conservatories are strong), an external bird dwelling, and a decent amount of artifacts.
On the first week, I barely squeezed Naga into the Citadel, devouring all the resources from the respawns and the external Gremin dwelling. I only found one mine - stones on the secondary. Zero gold at the end of the week.
The opponent put Centaurs into the Citadel and a Mage Guild in Conflux. At the start of 121, 14500 gold
On the second week, I flagged an external Naga dwelling with a second lot of cows (the second one hasn't been found yet), took the Medusa dwelling and the Naga Bank, and rushed towards the opponent trying to intercept the Griffin Conservatories - one is very close, the others I knew weren't taken. Honestly, I was mostly counting on luck. We met on the grass on 126.
I didn't bring Magi/Golems to save movement points, so this is what happened:
Nella level 10, 4-6-5-21, expert Armorer and Earth, advanced Leadership, 1st level spells in the spellbook
260 (!) Gremlins, 7 upgraded Nagas, 13+1+1+1+1 upgraded Gargoyles
Dessa level 12, 12-7-6-60, expert Earth and Archery, basic Armorer, mass Shield, Haste and Arrow 90. +1 HP (which turned out to be important)
2 Conflux birds (external dwelling), 2 Magi (built), 5 Centaurs, 40 Marksmen, Peasants and Hovels
It was a terrible fight and seemingly almost without mistakes. Still, I blundered once, plus a couple of random events like 2 HP on a bird, missing morale on the strike stacks... In short, I killed the birds, Magi, Centaurs, and about 15 Marksmen, and bought back with no mana and a handful of Gremlins.
2 Lich Pellets attacked again, pecking at the Marksmen with arrows
After discussing the situation, we decided to agree on a draw.
I suggested it of course, since I had 131 gold and couldn't buy anything, had nothing to eat, and really didn't want to claw my way out of this mess :)
P.S. Before the game, I invited Ilya to the beginners' tournament, but later I thought about it and decided to decline:
1) The game is absolutely not noobish, although not top-tier either
2) Many will die while he's taking his turns — don't let him play on eight minutes :)
Thank you for the game and nice to meet you.
