I don't know, FU(almost) Elephants (UT isn't important)/Cavalier+Halberdier+Rattan/Imperial Skirm+Bombard is as solid as you can get with a army block.

Blast Furnace only matters with you need more than Pike line being Pikes.

And the OP civ you are talking about is only Malay which have questionable Horses and have half of their civ bonus gone on non-water maps, Burmese and Kher have some problem of their own so I think it is more than fair that Viet got no big eco bonus in comparison.

If anything, I think Raja civs look weakish on paper in general is due to their access to Battle Elephants.
