As far as Strategy is concerned, I believe they can have a decent synergy with many civs, e.g Byzantines and Teutons. About Byzantines, they can be benefited by both the Imprerial Skirmishers (who are also cheaper) and the money tribute, offering them a potentially awesome trash war game and early Imperial Age respectively, whereas Cataphracts and cheaper Camels can protect the Vietnamese against Goths and cavalry civs.

Teutons, on the other hand, may also acquire IS to use them against gunpowder and cavalry archer civs that can potentially spell nightmare for slower units, while in return, they will offer better defences and units to deal with anti-archer civs, such as the Goths.

The Briton bonus may also be abused for archer spams, whereas Aztecs can use Atlatl-boosted IS in trash wars or target revealed positions of foes to rush. In addition, Magyars may also use the revelation bonus, faciliating rushing with Light Cavalry, use the gold tribute to abuse Paladins and Cavalry Archers, or even use IS for spam wars, combined with Magyar Hussars!

To conclude, their early game is  a bit weak, but their plethora of team boni can offer much flexibility, as far as teamplay is concerned.
