You never got dark rushed did you? Seeing someone attack in the first 10 minutes of the game is quite off putting. I think I have a recorded game of an associate doing a dark age rush in a 2v2 game. The victim didn't know what hit him
In my opinion a defensively focused player would probably lose more matches than they win.
I think its strengths were that:
* (if you were good enough) you could attack anytime.
* a balanced team game (even with differing skill levels of individual players) was great fun. I used to play with a sizable group, and we were usually able to setup teams quite easily so that the teams were evenly matched
* recorded games allowed anybody to see what any particular player had done
