Anyway, here's my problem: I used to be able to easily beat up on the computer in AOE in 1v7 mode. Obviously, a lot has changed in AoM so my old strategies don't work (like you can't just walk up to enemy TC and build a harassing guard tower anymore).
I can beat up on the computer every time in 1v1 on "hard" using a harassment / rush strategy, but I always get killed in 1v2. I just can't seem to build up *two* harrassing forces quickly enough. And if you can't harrass them, you sure as heck can't outbuild them. And there's no way I can figure out to defend against two full-sized attacking armies at once. (I can't even contemplate trying 1v3 at this point...)
Is it even possible to win 1v2 or 1v3 on Hard level? What do you need to do beat multiple computer opponents? I'm at my wits end...
