Make good use of your siege units. Ballistas should be a good friend of yours, some players may like onagers too but I dislike how often they make pudding out of your own archers and infantry (goddamn friendly fire!)

Microed and situational use of cavalry, though as weak as it is with the Britons, might be a good option.

Anyhow I don't usually have problems against eagle warriors or woad raiders, they aren't exactly heavy armoured and go down fairly fast - especially the latter. Their only advantage is that they're swift, but even a bunch of halberdiers can slow them down while arches and the ballistas massacre them.

Now with huskarls that's another thing, they can be massed heavily and are decent against your infantry too considering most goth players also spam champions. Wouldn't know how to counter that, not at all. I may suggest a ballista spam, but that's probably not going to work.

-your cavalry is pointless, a halberdier spam is easy for most civ's and costs nothing to goth players

-your infantry is pointless for it will be heavily outnumbered by your gothic foe no matter how good your economy is

Mayhaps turtling up and extend your territory slowly with towers and walls might be of assistance, as spamming champions and huskarls should eventually deplete all the gold the goth player has access to - and being left with a halberdier spam you should be able to get through their weak defences and finish them off.
