I used all my refresh chances, but I didn't get anything worthwhile. Luckily, I got very convenient roads, which allowed me to capture 5 or 6 towns by the end of the first week.
But the situation with troops is terrible - although some hives/sprites are marked on the map, they are all guarded by large groups, which I simply have nothing to fight with.
There's nothing worthwhile in terms of artifacts either, only +2 all stats, located far in the swamps.
After breaking through 2 sprites with 10 cyclops each and leveling up Gurn, I was lucky enough to capture a scroll of Death and Decay.
After that, with a significant advantage in controlled zones and found Key Skills, I brought it to a victory.

Thank you for the game
