Another fairly easy tactic should be Abyssia (default theme) with a Moloch fire-9 pretender. Just build Anathament Dragons (level 4 priests), lava warriors (their sacred, berzerking, 2-flail-using troops) and heavy infantry. Don't include Ulm among the AI opponents.

Lead your armies with Dragons, have them bless the lava warriors, and watch them buzzsaw their way through virtually any opposition. Research evocation magic so that the Dragons can help out the troops with fire spells. Once you get up to the more powerful spells (falling fires was the great one, I think) the Dragons will be able to wipe out whole squads on their own, and the Moloch will be an army-murdering death machine. You'll hardly even need the lava warriors at that point.

This was how I won (well, almost. I'd wiped out everyone but Pangea and had them down to just a couple provinces by the time I hit the turn limit) my first demo game.
