After that, you must take a look at the enemies and learn their strenghts and weaknesses. For example, is there an element they are weak (meaning negative resistance) against? If there is, use it! Are they fast? Are they slow? If the enemies are fast, more close combat troops or more ranged troops without close combat penalty are called for. If they are slow, get 1 tank and 4 ranged units and mow them down while they advance at you.
The next thing you must learn to do is to analyze when to stay on the defensive, and when to go on the offensive. The game is somewhat hard for people who never played chess, as chess teaches you to carefully calculate the options. This is valid for this game as well. You should know when to rush, when to slow the enemy advancement, when to cast offensive spells and when to cast buffs/debuffs.
I recommend you switch to easy difficulty, get the hang of the game and then try normal again.

I am a real good chess player -.-. And i completed all the Heroes of might and magic sagas. Believe me, i know how to play tactics battles on king's bounty. Thats the reason i cant understand this game is that hard, pointless. The problem is that the world is so lack on resources, that u cant move on. U cant raise yours spells, cant upgrade the spells tree, cant buy anything, cant pick anything more (cuz i picked all and it seems theres nothing more around), cant kill anyone, cant finish any quests.. so i just stop playing for now, till i see if theres something wrong with the game. I really dont like games that u need to start again from the beginning (cuz i suposse i cant do anything more and need to restart..) doing the things ONLY in one way, and still being too hard for being playable. I never saw a castle that once u have bought all the troops, u cant buy more cuz the castle never respawn the troops again.. thats stupid.
I tried all possible combinations. Nothing works. Actually i have priests, swordman, ancient bears, peasants and bowmen. And yes i know, for example magic is powerfull against undead, and i try always to kill the ranged ones before the melee ones (or hit em till they have for example 20 archer skeletons). And i am a mage, so i use to use fireball to damage skeleton hordes (or thorn hordes, etc) , for example. And i know almost all creatures advantages and disadvantages of the 3 first islands, and i eventually can kill even a very strong enemie, but thats all. I dont think the problem is the strategy, the enemies are just too unbalanced or the resources are just stupidly poor. If i cant even raise my leadership, it doesnt matter if i play good strategy, because i dont have fair enemies to kill.
So the point is, i think this game is a "BIT" unbalanced, i really dont want to play on easy mode to realize that the normal one is still too hard (cant imagine the next 2 levels).
