In one of my games, Egypt collapsed in the classical era and then came back from the dead later, when we were in the industrial era. :P

My military strategy depends heavily on airships, so I use forts as airbases a lot.

I defeated them; hard as hell, though. I also had to fight off the hordes of camel archers in N. Africa... but yeah, Great Wall works wonders, at least against the European barbarians. Still have to fight the African ones. Building the Great Wall also diverts the barbarians chiefly to Rome...

AP, the quote you used proves my point.
