In all my Civ3 games so far I found that defending your territory becomes way to easy as soon as your have a decend rail network and with an average of 2,3 workers per city that isn't really hard!
I was attacked by the russians, thanks to their rail network they moved 12 cossacs into my territory(onto 1 square). I then moved all the artillary from my cities(25) to my two frontline cities, bombarded all the cossacs down to 1 hp and finished them off with the infantry i removed from the cities that aren't threatened by the enemy. Especially easy is defending as soon as you get Panzer/Modern Armor! Attack multible times = once per move = 3 times per round on your own rail network!
And with the slow ship movement it becomes even easier. as soon as the enemy declares war it's land units are on you but it's sea units still need a few turns. enough time to move the troops from my costal cities to the frontline, kill some enemies and move them back. perfect strategy with mob. infanry. they have 2 movement points but can only attack once! you move them to the frontline, attack and move them back to the city they are supposed to defend. nothing easier as that!
