Personally, Marco, I have never seen the reasoning to justify rush building walls in SP games. The AI rarely launches a counter attack worth a dribbling piss; in MP, however, a walled civilization makes counter-conquest harder, and puts the emphasis on subversion. I personally think walls should be costlier than they are in the game, especially in MP, but life it too short to make the rules all the way you like it...
About engineers:
I like a nice leading force of engineers, too, though I like to attack from the sea and take one prime city; I rarely go by land because its so slow! Building the infrastructure to get to an enemy is costly, but if you can do so in MP successfully and without your enemy knowing you are building right up to his back door, then an invasion is much easier to execute.
I also like how the AI always builds a web of railroads all over their civ. I can go halfway around the planet with 19th century technology, in one turn.
