Attacker / Defender Balance

[Taera]

i vote for depends but balanced. This is how i see the game, theoretically a player could build an unbreachable by any means defense, or build a similarly devastating war fleet. It all depends on style, and when neglecting any you might find a thorn in your back when you're not prepared. But then again, the playstyles of this game are so much varied you cannot claim each side has any benefits upon the other one.
