well i can tell you it is not. it is the starset bonuses and our lack of upkeep that are our main strength and would result in your demise late game

early game im not sure, how fast does it take a decent age 1 player to get 100k archers up and running after server starts?
I think strats play a big factor in 1 vs 1 battles in age 2 especially if your defending you could easily strat certain waves to land before the required time.. If the attacker has sent waves to clear the ponies followed by mech waves or hammers those waves could easily land before ( Entice enemy into compromising position) the pony clearing waves which could either lead the mechs to do less damage or the hammers would go splat.

Also the besiege strats could easily send the waves back.. While I like age 2 better I believe the 1 vs 1 battles in age 2 favours the defender much higher than it would on age 1.
