I can even remember my goth opponent going straight for a castle when I played Vietnamese. I did some early damage before he had his huskarls and going straight for a castle is a drain for your eco and I could beat my opponent with Vietnamese  Champions, who lack blast furnace.

Going straight for a castle is only a good idea if you have a really strong UU, like the Plumed archer, Camel Archer or the Conquistador. The huskarl has to many counters.
