They're a great option when you have a forward base up and you need a unit to flood an opponents base (they slaughter defensive units like halbs, skirms, and camels and beat knights resource wise). But over long distances cavalry are always the better option. Forward bases are a must for civs with poor cavalry except maybe maya or goths.
