Okay guys, i give up

I have been trying beating 4 allied hard AI opponents alone for 2 days now.
But i just dont get it.
I know the difficulty of the hard AI has been improved by blizzard by one of the latest patches, it is now much less vulnerable to any kinds of cheese as it was half a year ago.

That makes it incredibly hard to beat 4 of them.

Cannon rushing doesnt work against them. Even with the best cannon rush i rarely get 3 of them down, the fourth will always stay alive and out-macro me then.

I tried playing terran and floating to an island, but that doesnt work against the AI anymore either. They will mass a huge air force and crush me. Its the numbers they have.

I tried picking a really small map with almost no expansions they can take and to turtle hard as terran.
But they just have too much stuff. If 800 supply worth of roach/hydra/baneling come against me i have no way of holding it off.

So my question is, what do you guys think could do it?

do you get achievement for that? If it was 3 allied AI it would make things so much easier on 4 player maps, especially on the ones for practice leagues with a rock in-front of the choke of the natural. Have you tried using toss and get sentries to hold ramp as long as possible while getting colossus. Forcefield can hold a ramp for ages... and that's the only way i can think off to kill of quadruple your supply army with the most cost efficient death ball.

Sentries collosus doesnt work against 4 enemies.
After only 7 minutes they will hit you with a gigantic force, you will simply go down. At least when 4 broodlord, corrupter, mutalisk armies come at you at once.

The AI is pretty strong. I barely beat 2 insane AI's with a 4gate. Try fucking with their AI, if that doesn't work, try youtube.

I beat the 2 Insane AI's, that wasnt all that hard.
But 4 hard AI's allied vs you is really really hard.

BUT! Finally i did it! I managed to beat the crap out of these bastards.
I took terran in a very very small 8 players map which only hosts 1 expansion for every player.
I won by starving them out. I didnt even take a full expansion because i wasnt able to.

In case anybody wants to see how i did it here is a replay.
It wasnt easy at all. I played at "normal" speed in order to not fuck it up by silly micro. Took over an hour.

My tips:
Go terran mech and barricade yourself on top of a very small ramp.
Mass siege tanks, about 10 to 12 would be good.
Place barracks at the ramp because they have the most hitpoints for the least cost. (1000 hp for 150 minerals)
Use zerg enemies, the AI is too stupid to play zerg. They will go into roach/hydra/ultralisk/baneling.
Dont go bio, mech is cheaper in the long term because you can repair, and you want to starve your enemies.
get the bunker upgrades, the building armor is a must have (for the frontal wall off)!
Try to steal any minerals/gas from whatever expansion you can get your hands on, dont get orbitals or planetaries there, use the normal command center to lift off with your scv's loaded up. (with the proper upgrade the cc can load 12 scv's!)

Make sure you have ALOT of time...
