My basic strategy with a warrior is to upgrade tactics (skill lets you arrange your starting positions), combat readiness (20% damage reduction in first round) and level3 distortion for mass haste. I place my troops as close to the enemy as possible and storm them with the initiative bonuses in the first round.
Horsemen are excellent for this because with haste they charge across the map and accumulate massive bonuses. I've also got +initiative and -enemy initiative items, so the second turn I'm moving almost all of my units first. So basically I hit hard at the start, the enemy gets some retaliation at the end of turn 1, then I mop up at the start of turn 2.
For this I use heavy, durable units (don't need to be fast because pretty much anything will reach the other side of the map in turn 1). I also carry one group of archers so I can use dragon arrow to take out stacks of dragons.
