Artillery is usually the best defensive weapon type.. Especially when backed by the appropriate mix of units. The Ports are a good defensive civ, however, you should never intentionally play defense.. It wastes resources, and is far too risky if you opponent breaks into your base. Alternatively, you should be aggressive, push hard and fast, wait at HM at the end of the treaty, and wall the map/spam FBs.
 AzureRebellion:Should I build towers inbetween the walls or inside or on the outside? Could someone post a picture of their best wall set up?
What I usually do is start building walls halfway through the treaty. Go as far away from your TC as you can until you reach the edge of the buildable area, then building your walls (they should form a near perfect circle). Remember to build in pairs of the longest sections, which makes gates a lot easier to create. Building 5-7 walls extremely compacted, then build (at least) 2 eco walls. Fill the space between the outter and eco walls with barracks, towers, stables, foundaries, etc. When the treaty ends, fight the enemy army at half map as a distraction while you wall your side of the map completely... Remember to leave a few towers unbuilt so you can FB with them for an HC receiving point.
