I find that, in playing on King or higher difficulties, the early game rush is basically accepted as inevitable~ The AI will crush you just for having a weak military, even in the early game. However, even a small defense force of 2-3 archers and a similar amount of warriors (or spearmen, but I prefer warriors to upgrade to swordsmen later) is sufficient to hold the AI off, as they're still not terribly competent at combat--they're no longer overly suicidal like they were pre-G&K, but they are I think too conservative now. They don't like to attack if they'll lose a few units, even if they'll take a city by sacrificing some~ But then, maybe it just is a lot easier to defend than it is to attack~
With that said, I have proven that the early game rush is still quite possible for the human side, as my latest escapade with Rome proved--Washington declared war on me early, and after I repelled his attack, I upgraded my warriors to legions, gave them ballistae support, and took his capital and another city, before forcing him into a humiliating peace deal~
The AI is better in G&K, I think, but it still has quite a ways to go as far as tactical combat is concerned~
