So, you actually think that if 20,000 ballistae pull up to your front door you ought to be able to hold them off with a couple traps & a few archers?

There's a reason ballistae win. They are a superior unit, which requires higher level tech, more resources and more time to create. Next week it will be catapults at your door... my suggestion to you is to spend your energy building some and use them to get the resources you need to build more, because traps and archers, which are low-level techs, will not hold them off in any reality.
