Here is your Mainland Balanced 1v2 Very Hard Aggressive Romans. The map being mainland doesn’t really affect the process much, you just need to set up your defense accordingly. I still played slow and relaxed. After a while, Petra starts to lose momentum.  Petra is always predictable, it launches an early attack, loses. Once it regains strength, it attacks again. By the second or third attack, it starts bringing rams. If it manages to defeat you, it’s usually only because it overwhelms you with numbers, which makes dealing with Petra’s armies much harder in 1v3+VH situations. Still, as I said, I think it’s possible with better management and strategy. If you build your game around Petra’s weaknesses, you can achieve it. commands.txt metadata.json

Alright that was a funny game with how your horseman disabling their market. The thing with this map is the enemy can only come in one side. I would like to request you to 1v2 it in an open map like mainland or foothill where they can expand fast and be a manace. I was able to 1v2H AI and it felt like 1V2ing VH AI from 0.27.1. In a chokepoint of any rts its a fun way to play it, but I am going to miss being able to 1v3VH. But hey if any of you can show your replay that you can 1v2 or even 1v3 them in an open land map, I a casual too can do it, you just have to prove it. Thank you bro. Also my setting(1v3ing them) at that time was 300pop limit and low resource, no treasure. commands.txt

1v2 on very hard isn’t that difficult, I’ve done it many times. I’m sure @Seleucids can push it even further. (There was a YouTube video of her where she played 1v7 on very hard but I don’t know that game details enough to fully understand what was going on and the video quality wasn’t good enough to catch the info. Also it was previous versions of the game. The graphics were also terrible because of the mod she was using, it made everything look like an x-ray.) Today I did 1v2 very hard and it can be seen how effortless it is. I'm not even playin agressive or doing weird tricks. I could have played more harder and finished the game faster but I preferred a more relaxed run. With better preparation and ideas it's possible to do 1v3 or more.     commands.txt metadata.json

@wowgetoffyourcellphoneTrying to do that would probably crash and burn your only server.

I don't think she can either win 1v2. In her 1v1v2, two of the AIs were fighting each other, so she actually played 1v1 for a while. @Seleucids, for your test to be successful, you need to play 1v2, against two very hard AIs that are in the same team, with teams locked. And the AIs need to be at their best, so choose two strong civs, like Romans and Seleucids.
