I have zero premium expansions and didn't have much problem accomodating 16-18 total expansions to orcs. Mind you I'm at 269 conquered provinces - not sure how many extra that gives me but I have a total of 81 5x5 spaces not including the one I've gotten in woodelves chapter.
It's definitely possible without spending $$
I never said it wasn't. But it would be harder now with the new battlesystem since acquiring that many provinces is going to be tough for newer players.
And the amount of provinces you mentioned also shows my point: the amounts mentioned on the chest should only be seen as a minimum right now and the GZ does definitely not coincide with the rate at which the provinces will be opened, even with a 'normal' (as in not-overactive) playing style.
