On random maps, when playing as Barbarians, I usually play like this (at 160% difficulty).
I start with either a Kreg or a Gurnisson.
On day 1, I build Behemoths in the Castle.
On days 1-2, I recruit 3 bears and go to take everything that's available. The goal is to upgrade them and gain a mass speed advantage. If I encounter an opponent, 5 gray bears and mass haste should bring victory.
Regarding units:
Goblins are almost irrelevant.
Wolves are a great unit.
Orcs are weak.
Ogres are the most durable tier 4 units (their attack and damage are simply excellent!).
Birds are a great unit (speed and ability are excellent).
Cyclops are rarely used (usually not built).
Bears are the strongest tier 7 units.
For <=160% difficulty, this tactic is generally optimal, but at 200% difficulty, you'll realize that goblins and orcs are actually quite good in the beginning, and wolves are only used for defense.
