Vikings don't really have a choice in using Infantry. They are tied with the Koreans and Malay for the worst cavalry in the game. Vikings lack Bloodlines, Husbandry and plate barding armor in addition to the Hussar and Paladin upgrades. The Koreans lack Blast Furance but have Husbandry and the Hussar. The Malay lack Bloodlines, Chain Barding armor and Plate Barding armor, but, like the Koreans, have Husbandry and Battle Elephants.

As such it is better to spend resources on infantry than the pitiful cavalry.
