Welcome to our company, have fun
As for guidance here`s some tips from top of my head :

1) depending of your class try to focus on certain things, not to lvlup all skills from start - expl for viking class dont lvl all skills, but try to take those that would help you most : rage is best for viking due to large rage pool and high rage inflow but dont take destroyer from magic tree for him it`s waste of runes (or spend all might runes you get with soothsayer for some might skills and then cant take chaos magic 2/3 lvl or initiation). So viking is best with high crit% and rage skills , skald have huge army and can have best moral for his troops , soothsayer can be great in buff/debuff spells, or put all you have in high intellect hero and blast enemy with high dmg spells.

2) dont keep same items all game change them depending on what you have at disposal and enemy composition. Expl - on start pure lds bonus items can be great like marshal baton for +1000 leadership is great until you cross 15000 total leadership with hero, after that item gives you less then 6% additional lds on your army.
Here each attack point in stats give you 3,33% more dmg output , and every defense point reduce dmg taken by 3,33%. So consider that when picking items, because some item that give +1000 leadership might look great, but comparing it with item that gives +5 defense=16% les dmg taken is like having 16% bigger army = +5defense better then +1000lds after some time.

3) also for army composition , if you lead bunch of low lvl units pure bonus is better then %. Expl - for 1/2 lvv unit +3attack/defense is better then +30% to some stat because +30% bonus is to their basic stat value and that is most often lower then +3 from item. Same goes for high 4/5 lvl units (dragons and such) +5 attack here means almost nothing comparing to some +20% attack (for dragons +20% =+10stat pure bonus), or if you lead 5th lvl melee(giant , trolls, jotuns and similar) drill is imba item pure +25% dmg that is like +8attack item. here is no item in game that gives +8pure bonus to any stat.

4) spells dont lvlup all spells you have in book. Take 1 lvl of each and test it in battles, to see how it works for you. If it`s useful upgrade it further, if not dont waste crystals on it. They are in limited supply. And about spells percentages work here also, expl - casting defenseless on huge stack of enemy low lvl units is waste of mana because that spell lower enemy basic defense which is low to begin for low lvl units, better to cast oily mist or pugmy. For enemy high lvl units defenseless is great, as is plague. And so on ... try different combinations, to see what works good with what.

That`s some of basic, basics. Just play and have fun
