For the first week, I was exploring the respawn point and didn't leave it – I was afraid of the light factions. In the following week, I ventured into a neighboring zone, where I found a level 2 resource and several useful artifacts (I collected them). We both reached the treasure chest almost simultaneously, but my opponent postponed the battle until the third week. He seemed to have more troops (or was it just an impression?), and both of us had oil, but ResDead and my slightly stronger spell power helped me. And, of course, a stack of skeletons! Thanks for the game!
