It's hard to give general advise, since it depends on your setup but i find that neutral cities are the key to winning. If you capture them early, you can even keep pace if not exceed "hard" level opponents.

The computer cheats like crazy.
*Computer Wizard has 15 picks
*Population growth is 3X
*Production point/Gold/Food/Mana production is 2.5X
*Spell research is 1.25X
*Upkeep is 0.5X
It's winnable, but you have to be really good and know all the tricks. I found it unwinable a few months ago too short of using 11 book strategies, but now I managed to win three times , using 'normal' strategies.
And there are a lot of much better players who can win impossible fairly easily.
Personally i find that proper adjustment of tax rates is the key, most players probably don't touch it, or set it too low. Even if tax rates cause some unrest in some cities it might still be worth it overall.
