seriously, the game is offensive enough as it is and less towers will not make the game more offensive.
greeks have to pay 200w 100g, iirc, to upgrade towers and then like > 200f for crenellations. rarely, have i seen any recs where players do this.my concern, like mokon said, is that if they become too cheap or easy to build then u just get norse tower spammers all around ur base.
IF there was ever a change to the tower situation, i think it should be that everyone gets the auto upgrade like eggy and eggy gets two more towers.
however, i think that it is actually fine how it is right now. if u want to turtle in this game u can learn how to play hades, ra, or isis that's like 3/9 gods, which is pretty good. if u like to rush a guy to death in the first 6 min u play norse, which is like 3/9 gods. if u like to raid u can play zeus, possy, odin, or thor, which is 4/9. if u like to fh u can play isis, set, or hades, again 3/9 gods.
there really is something for everyone in this game. but if u're trying to turtle with thor or possy u gotta ask urself why u're doing that?
and it's still very possible to trush with norse.
and, no, it DEFINITELY shouldn't be that tcs don't attack and take away the towers. first of all ur starting los would suck hard (imagine ra/isis with no scout trying to look for resources, yeah, that's fair) and eggy's would be even less played because they're designed to be more defensive until heroic, duh.
