Haizzz. If don't use correct tactics, these civilizations very easily be defeated by Byzantines Cataphracts as Cataphracts have high bonus vs Infantry also have high bonus defense vs anti cavalry, Pikemen almost can't defeat them. But those civilizations can counter Cataphracts by other tactics: mass archers (you should noticed that Cataphracts are weakest non-ranged cavalry due to low pierce armor) with other fast units help (EX: Eagle Warriors): use fast units lure Cataphracts follow them to your archer positions, the remain thing you need is make sure your archers "clean" them. Each civilizations have different advantage:

-Aztecs have FU Arbalests or Skirmishers with +1 attack and +1 range

-Ethiopian's archers fire 15% faster (Arbalests)

-Malians have Arbalests. But this civilization also have strongest FU Cavaliers with 19 attacks, easily kill Cataphracts

-Turks have Hand Cannoneers and Janissaries, they very deadly if mass

-Finally, Vikings seem very difficult to counter Cataphracts than other civilizations as they only have Arbalests
