Two aspects of transportation mainly roks (giant birds that transport units) and powers such as shifting sands and underworld portal are troubling to the standard Greek or Egyption player, who tends to concentrate lots of walls and soldiers at key choke points. By the time a player rushed his soldiers to the back of his base it could be half destroyed and his enemy entrenched. The Norse however guard their buildings much like the Goths did in Age of Kings (having lots of infintry around buildings) so they would be able to fight off such invasions much more effectivly. Could the Norse be the most effective deffender inedvertently?

I think that all three civs will end up having equal defenses, simply in different ways. The Norse will be able to pour infantry out of their buildings; the greeks will have decent walls and strong units to guard them; and the egyptians will have weaker units, but stronger walls, towers etc. I'm sure ES has figured out someway to balance themall in anycase. We have to remember that one of the basic ideas behind AOM is that all civs will be able to do allt hings equally well, just in different ways.

Im talking about how AOK defenses will not cut it against flying units, the age genere was not designed to support flying units and there will have to be adjustments
