I've had a frustrating trend of only winning most games that don't involve a hoard of crossbowmen hitting my base moments after my opponent hits Castle Age. Its not that I don't know to make the counters, but I usually don't have enough time to make enough skirms with upgrades or get up a siege workshop and get a mango or a couple scorpions out in time. Any tips that people have found success against this with?

As a bonus question, the infantry and rams push has also got me a couple times too. Any best practices against this?
