How to play Xbows VS Kts ?

​

Hi everyone,

I don't know how to play with xbows against someone who's playing kts. I feel like kts are so strong that they can just crush me in mid castle age. And at the imperial age, if my opponent manage to mass as much unit as me, i always have the feeling that 50 cavaliers are way stronger and threatening than 50 arbalesters.

I know what you'll say : just mix pikemen with your xbows. When i do this, my opponent just go full skirmishers, which counter both my xbows and my pikes. And later in imp, he can just push me with treb/skirms and run into my economy with some cavalry.

I know i am wrong, i know kts and xbows are balanced the way they are, but i wanted to know if you guys can give me some advices.

Oh and i'm around 1280 - 1320 elo (I might be a bit to high elo considering my skills, but this is an other problem 11).

Thanks all.
