I'm looking for someone to play co-op with. I can do 1v2, but 1v3 is a bit too tough.
after a quick glance at your profile, i'm not sure what you and me understand about "hard" are the same things here bud.

You need the right blessings to get through these solo unless you are really good at the game. I did most of these playing as thor. Get hersirs quickly and have the blessing that causes them to do area damage. As heroes they should have no problem against early myth units, and with the area damage they should wipe out regular units quickly.
some of them if you concentrate on defense completely and make sure none of your units gets anywhere near the enemy they will usually leave you alone longer.

you can also use mods.... depending on what exactly would help.

there is ones that make towers and walls much stronger that would make it easier for you to defend yourself while building up an army... BUT, then you may have a problem with the enemies towers and walls.

several just make your legend much stronger.... which honestly making him slightly stronger seems very fair, but some really overdo it if you just want to get passed the mission.

doesn't mod, disable achievements? please clarify.
nope... i had a mod that doubles gold deposits (also a couple "mods" that just add maps) for most of the time i've been playing and got several achievements with them on.

the only thing is now for the daily celestial challenge it won't even let you play those with mods enabled, they can be installed, but not enabled.

if you 1v2 and 1v3, you mass age 2 myth unit and rush early with several age 2 myth unit to destroy the town center of atleast 1 or 2 AI and force them to resign. then its 1v1

Select Nü Wa goddess (or chinese civ by default) and spam a lot of Pioneers, this worked for me for taking down multiple AI enemies.
For 1 vs 3 I would also try to rush the first enemy after the first 5min. Kastor is a good help and on the first page of this mode you also can get gaia's troops for free.
Also know that in most matches an additional players brings an additional ai-player. But if you play well it's still more of an advantage to being able coordinating attacks or help each other out defending.
Some matches I palyed with someone who shines in lategame because he played "greedy" for a strong economy while I tended to play early agressive to reduce the number of enemies. With time we found our sweetspots in the middle.

I mostly did some hit and run attemps (played on gold) so my soldiers don't get shot too often from towers or the village center.
So I could take out his military producing buildings and most workers, slowing him. With ~20-30 units I then attacked the village center and after destroying the first enemy often gave up.
There is not much time to pause, sending your army to the next ai-player. But allways prefer the ones in the shortest distance to your base so you can return and defend if necessary.
My experience was that enemy started snowballing hard after 15min, so this was the time were I hoped to got 1-2 ai-players allready defeated.

I often used the blessings:
-gaias roots (especially mighty if playing atlantean, but I prefered loki)
-more attack power for humans
-phats tools (for better economy) or the lifesteal one for humans
Mostly I prefer blessings which give me a bonus over the whole match and scale pretty good instead of some more starting troops or newer buffs like the spawning dwarfs.

Play Gaia, get the heroes do AoE damage blessing, and later heroes move faster blessing.

Train Murmillones, and turn them into heroes. A dozen or so beats pretty much every AI army. Get some Caladriae as well to heal them; move them over your infantry and press stop a few seconds before your troops engage the enemy, then they start healing almost instantly and you hardly ever lose units.

Add a couple of hero Arci in case you encounter flying myth units.

Add hero Destroyers or Fire Siphons to destroy buildings.

Attack one AI with a "small" group of units (like 20 Murmillones, 15 Destroyers, 5 Caladriae) to kill off one AI while you defend your base with the remaining troops.

This doesn't work with Expert. I managed to stall to Age 3, where I ran out of more resources and they just kept rekting me with multiple forces after 30s. I can't keep up.

Edit: This is with I opened 2 TC, and managed everything perfectly. They just kept coming and I ran out of soldiers.

The early push suggestion is a good idea. I started doing it after reading the comment, and it's very effective in 1v2. I take the Chinese, I take the mythic unit cost reduction, the life boost, the resource gathering boost and I spam the mythic units that cost wood and in a few minutes the game is over. For 1v3 however I played in co-op.
