What to do with Byzantines

I just had Byzantines 2 games in a row and this is one of the civs I really don't know how to use. First game was on HD, i played vs Vikings and tried a feudal trash spam to counter crossbows in castle age. This hurt my eco too much so I ended up getting destroyed by viking knights and elite skirms while advancing to castle myself.

The second game was on voobly and the opponent went for a korean trush, which I somehow sucessfully stopped with a 20 pop scout rush and a lot of vill fighting. In castle age I went full on mangonels and pike spam, I think I was at 10 Mangonels and 30 pikes when I won.

But in both games, it did not seem like i played to my civs strength, or like i could not use my civs strength. In the first, my army could not do any damage to my opponent and in the second I had a lot of mangonels and I used the cheaper pike bonus... but the scouts were what saved my a*s and that would have been easier with a lot of the other civs.

What is your usual game plan, when you get Byzantines? Any advice, how I could have reacted differently?
