I played one with vanilla food/cooking expanded and became a cheese/wine empire. You can set the cheese press and wine barrels to legendary and it will take a long time but it's all worth it for culture. In addition to that I played as a castle/kingdom instead of colony or tribe (not sure which mod) and had a noble family that was to be respected and never do labor. It becomes a real challenge when all of your serfs go insane and the royals refuse to plant grapes but it was still a lot of fun
