Defensive timing is best when balanced on a razor's edge - you build JUST enough defenses to beat your enemy JUST as you're about to be attacked.


True, in a duel. But in multi-player games, building defenses is critical, and doing it in moderate amounts early is often very beneficial.

Attackers have a choice on who to attack. Often terrain plays a critical role. But if facing two targets of similar benefit, the attacker will often choose the weaker target. Defenses, armed bases, minefields, and a few ships are often a wise investment (if you are planning on playing defense...)
