How to kill english in feudal age?

people are writing you dont want to fight english at feudal,defensive civ dont need a army advantage something something but they are getting the map control and you cant gather gold if they even manage to kill 1 of your vills its game over.Man at arms at feudal and making units 2 times fast from landmark feels preaty unfair and very frustrating deal with they should do this atleast:

no civ should get units from landmark thats such a huge advantage at early and it escalates until the end of the game if you guys know tactics to deal with this im listening
