Angels are humanoid creatures with a wingspan of 4 meters, they are as tall as humans and the fittest of them weight 72 kilograms or slightly less, so they are quite lighter than the average human.
Angels have an incredible advantage in any conflict, they don't need to fight and risk their lives, they can just fly over the enemies and drop arrows,flechette, rocks and flaming pots of oil or simply throw spears from above. Angels can fly 3,800 metres above ground when flying long distances in order to cross continents. Carrying weapons into battles makes flying height lower but still over the kilometer, they only walk when home or when resting.
So, how can Angels be stopped from taking over the world and create an Angel dominated empire where every other humanoid creature just gets enslaved?
The other humanoid creatures present in this world are:
- Half human, half lion centaurs, they are huge and powerful and can climb
Alcohol Elves as in my older questions
Driders or giantnopespiders as described by Rennan
Lizardfolk or reptile people- Merfolk
- Nagas
No firearms or such things are invented and everything is like the early 1000's of our world, where the majority of people lived in tribes and small villages but there were a few empires and big cities.

Is population relatively similar between the different humanoid creatures? Also, being able to hold territory requires boots on the ground. These angels could be excellent raiders, but they won't actually be conquering anything.

Since your angels are light, flying entites, they probably can't carry much. The more they carry, the more slowly and laboriously they fly, and as a result, the better a target they present themselves.
This would, naturally, lead to light armor and armaments, think leather armor and your earlier mentioned projectiles - stones, spears, etc. But in order to be effective, a projectile has to weigh a certain amount to do damage, otherwise it will just bounce off of any lander's armor. So the weight of the ammunition itself limits the amount of time they can stay in combat.
Imagine that the most common spear weighs (for math's sake) 1kg, but the max an angel can carry while staying airborne is 10kg. That means once they loose their 10 spears, they are out of the fight and must go resupply! Or they can go fight on the ground, but then they are at a clear disadvantage. And their resupply base must be on the ground somewhere, so a smart enemy might find it...

Consider adding logistics to complete your last point. How far can they fly? Effective range is half that.That's where their supplies and food would be. In tribal situations, it's seldom that two armies meet on an open plain to battle it out. Their enemies will rather raid their base camps.

A 72 Kg meatbag, flying four clicks above a target, with o ly medieval wraponry, would have a very hard time hitting a target accurately.
Sure, they can fly lower and use bows, but there are only so many arrows you can carry.
At some point they have to land. They can't sleep, cook, make love nor nest in the air. And once they are on the ground, they are game.
In the very least burn their tents to the ground, and they will have to fly back home for more supplies.
