To add to the balance discussion, I think Malay are in 1v1s quite comparable to Vikings. Malay have a faster up time, but the Vikings save TC time by free wheelbarrow and Hand cart. So I suppose they have similar economies and I would give an edge to the Vikings. The Vikings have better Cavalry and the Vikings do have real infantry bonusses, while the Malay have only an UT that might not be as usefull as the Champion upgrade. On top of having the Champion upgrade, the Vikings also have an HP bonus for infantry. I have to addmit that the Malay have other options as Bombar Canons/towers, better monks and of course battle elephants but I think there is still some virtue in taking the Vikings over the Malay.
