Civs that you remembered being great but are now kind of lame?

I’m coming back to the game after a long time off. Years and years ago I thought a civ like the Saracens or Turks were badass. Years later after playing with them again I am not nearly as big of a fan.

Are there any older civs that are not nearly as good as you remember back in the day?

EDIT: Vikings are another one I forgot to mention.
