So, you have phantom, and Royal Griffons. This is generally a good combination. Try phantoming out some griffons, and have the phantom summon some Guard griffons.
Use your cyclopses as tanks. Run them out into combat, and use their melee skills when you can. Put stone skin on them if you have to, and they'll soak up a lot.
A good question though... have you pillaged Verona well? There is a lot of stuff you should be able to pick up there. If you win ONE fight, it would be with the stack guarding the bridge to Montero. It isn't too big, is on an easy arena, and will unlock another huge continent to loot (which will also unlock at least 3 no-fight battles).
It is almost always worth it to sneak around enemies and pick up loot when you can't fight them. A good way to 'catch up' if you are falling behind.
Lastly, make sure in combat that you are developing a good plan. Who is the enemy going to attack? How are you going to keep that unit alive? How do you control stacks that are too strong? Get good answers to these (especially as a mage) and you'll start doing a lot better.
