How do I beat Goths on Arena as Mayans?

Ok so the usual thing against Goths is to put a lot of pressure in Feudal or early Castle because they don't get stonewalls.

Failing that, switching to cavalry to attack the huskarls and champions to attack the pikes is usually a good bet. Mangonels behind a line of infantry or a wall are also an effective unit against Huskarls, albeit a fairly defensively oriented one.

Problem is, I'm an archer civ and on Arena, they get free full stonewalls in dark age and I have no effective way to knock down those walls until I get rams. But by the time I can get rams to their base, they will probably already have Huskarls coming out of their castle. And meso civ means I can't use heavy cavalry as a soft counter to Huskarls.

So is this problem solveable without just using "have much better macro and FC faster than they do?" like, assuming ELO is anywhere close to equal, and therefore so is fast castle time pretty close to equal (well, ignoring the Mayan 1 villager lead), how do I actually beat an equally competent goth player on arena as Mayans if they plan on doing what nearly every goth player does: Fast castle into Huskarl flood?
