I've had the Arch-Druid as the Pretender. I'd like to stick with Man since the units are easier for me to identify with.

Build many longbowmen then, they rock. As cheap infantery use tower guards. If you chose a low level of indigenous strengh 20 fighters (of whatever type you start with) and twenty longbowmen will slaughter the indigenous forces. Keep following things in mind:
- scout early and attack your weakest neighbour
- place the fighters in front of your longbowmen and give them the order "hold then attack close enemies" (or somesuch), longbowmen should be ordered "fire close enemies". That way the enemy has to walk up to your army while being nailed by the bowmen. This works especially well if the enemy as little to no cavalry or bowmen of his own
-as soon as you can afford it build some knights and place them on the flanks of your army and order them "attack rearmost enemy"
- enjoy the show
