Making Britons competitive?

What could be done to make the Britons more viable? I was thinking increasing either longbow accuracy or rate of fire/decrease frame delay. Other possibilities: Give the brits FU Hussars, or a late game eco bonus. I think any of these would make the brits far stronger. Having a FU trash line would make them more viable in solo games with limited gold, and give them better counters to siege. Boosting the longbows would make them act as an even greater force multiplier. And a late game eco bonus would allow them to keep their boom going through out the game.
