After the prologue, your first major objective is to liberate the region of Oriel. This involves several smaller missions and the liberation of towns. Oriel introduces you to the concept of 'Renown' and 'Honor', crucial resources for expanding your army and upgrading your units. Focus on completing the main quests in this region to progress the story, but also take time to complete any available side quests to gain experience and resources. You'll encounter new enemy types and begin to understand the importance of unit composition and counter-picking. The terrain in Oriel is varied, so pay attention to how it affects your units' movement and combat effectiveness. Liberating towns will provide access to shops and garrisons, allowing you to recruit new units and purchase equipment.
