Now as the Wall-Gates and Siege balance stands in AOK, one can easily get so defensive that no matter come what may, u can totaly wall your civ. I wont even mention the USELESSNESS of every non-siege unit against the fortefied walls, the only purpose they fulfill are to irritate the opponent with the continous "PO PO!"(Warning Siren).

I would harldy consider paladins useless against defenses, all you need is one hole in the wall or gate (4-5 petards could do this instantly) and then the pals rush in and destory everything. it only takes 15 pals to take down a fully upgraded byz castle, do you call that useless? An amry of 100 or more pals could lay waste to almost any defenese, because they have so much pierce armor and hp they just swarm the towers and castles. in that way, they can be a lot like elelphants, only a lot faster. also, i will admit that most NON-SIEGE units are not the best thing against defenses, thats why they have SIEGE in the first place
