Horseback riding does affect it tremendously. You can't move a fraction of a turn, only a full turn and with certain speeds, you go into their range.
From what I've seen, the range of Defensive Trebs must've been increased to 5000 and Rolling Logs decreased to 1300 because the new patch says "range of DT increased, range of rolling logs decreased" but aside from the name change for DT, the range numbers remained exactly the same. Still people who have sent ballistas to lvl 6 npc, who should theoretically outrange the 1300 range of DT, lose their ballistas.
DTs are kind of like traps now, except for your more expensive siege units. This makes the NPC significantly stronger than a human player because they regenerate these things for free.
