Here are some strategies I have found useful:
-Dragons/Gryphons suck alone, but, they are useful as part of a larger 
strategy-they make ground units (except archers/trolls) scatter out of 
formation. Use 1 or 2 air units to wreak havoc, followed closely by 
ground troops to catch enemy off guard.
-If the enemy attacks with air units, send your defenseless ground units 
to engage the enemy or into the enemy town. At least the air units might 
help damage their own side.
-send multiple mages that have had invis cast on them to separate corners 
of an enemy town and cast blizzard. Enemy has to divide troops and hunt 
down all mages, by which time they will have done a healthy amount of 
damage (choose targets wisely, even having 2 mages cast on 1 important 
structure ie towers, barracks, town halls).
-Groups of catapults/ballistas!! They may move slow, but with five or six 
fully upgraede 'pults firing, they can take out towers and buildings in 
little or no time. make sure to back up with knights.
-Build more than 1 town hall as fast as possible! Especially when playing 
human opp's. It's a gamble depending on the terrain (how long it takes 
for him to find you through trees, etc., how close towns are) to decide 
whther to concentrate on peons early, to gain the upper hand later, or 
units early to defend against large attack.
-Flanks are important. Try to amass troops on either side of a natural 
barrier (copse of trees, mountain, etc.) and when attacked, send troops 
around behind to cut him off. Also, pay close attention to natural choke 
points and design tower crossfire zones coupled with 'pults.
-Stake out your areas early and fortify them. Don't try to expand beyond 
your boundaries to early.

hmmm...those seem pretty basic now that I write them out...guess my 
friends I play against just aren't very good...
