if he doesnt get the picture, attack
if he wants a treaty, sign it, then attack when he least expects it

okay, a moat and a wall.
But seige > Wall.
He needs flame archers to fire at the long range seige, and hot oil to pour on battering rams.
It...kills the people using them, hombre. 0.o
You use close range defenses for scaling troops, rams, etc...it's harder to take out long range artillery like trebs though. =(
Hmm..if that is how you counter than I have two plans.
1) Build a moat.
2) Drop large rocks on the roofs of the battering rams to crush your insolent skulls!
=p
1) quick-detaching pontoons on the ram, effectively making it land and short-water capable
2) a steep roof
Hmm..in that case...I dig the moat right up to the base of the wall, therefore making a ram attack not plausible. I maintain the archers on the wall, and supplement them with some pikemen / swordsmen to keep scaling attacks at bay.

Is invasion imminent?
Should I start building a moat and a wall?
live role playing Age of Empires II FTW!!!
moat wont help vs Trebs. they have a range of 15. unless u build your moat 16 from your house. in which case he'll just ferry it over w/a dragon boat (plus supporting firepower to protect the Treb.)
hope u have lots of knights. or cheat, and outrange him w/your 135mm howitzer.

If I remember my strategy from Civilization 4, you can take on those catapults with tanks.
Build a tank.
