I'm not sure how right I am, but I think you should proceed from the fact that it's much harder for the light elves at the start than for the dark elves – so you need to rush to them as quickly as possible, and in general, it's better for you if the map is small, and vice versa for your friend. At the same time, you absolutely must not lose troops in skirmishes with neutrals – the stats of the dark elf creatures are simply excellent, only their growth rate is low. Your hero should develop Chaos skills, especially Sinistar. Build the Mage Guild. Upgrade the Assassin and Fury as quickly as possible. Personally, I often don't build Minotaurs at all – the castle is already expensive, and as meat, just to have them around, it's much better to have Hydras, especially those that regenerate. They move rarely and slowly, but they are mainly needed to be there while you cast meteor showers on the heads of the light elves... or something else unpleasant, depending on what spells you get.
Well, that's it in general. And maybe I'm not right.
