Is there any custom game that's like They Are Billions or Age of Darkness?
I like these type of Survival RTS but Age of Empires 2 is my favourite RTS, is there a map where you have to hold on against zombies or Barbarians? And basically survive against waves and build up your base defences?

I have not played any games on AoE2 that precisely match those games, but there are some fun takes on tower defense and survival in the custom scenarios. Here are a few I know about:

FVD-Fast Villager Defense: You get a single vil that can build towers at incredible speed. Work with 7 other players against an 8th player who hunts. Every civ gets unique towers that upgrade as you get kills. Hunter will spawn units in the middle that become increasingly stronger and must kill everyone before 50 minutes. This is one my favorite AoE2 custom scenarios and it is well-balanced and maintained.
Here is a game T90 covered a year ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHlGCYnb3tA

FZD-Fast Zombie Defense: I don't play this mode very often, but it is basically FVD but with zombies and a horror theme.

Jurassic Park: In this scenario, you start with two villagers and two guards. You must settle a location, wall it up, and build towers to defend. Resources are passively generated by building lumber camps/mills/mining camps. Other buildings have additional useful effects. After a short period to build up, the hunter player will send dinosaurs out to attack you. The first part is typically much like a tower defense, but you will often lose your base, forcing you to think of creative ways to hide and escape.
Here is Spirit of the Law covering a game a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujMnTgcGZLA

Zombie's Awakening: I have never actually played this scenario, but it might be interesting for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxf0ET3SOdQ
I believe it is updated and runs on DE, but I am not positive.

I am sure there are plenty of other scenarios around as well.
