Seems like a nice mod.
I like Pythium, but I also like the Byzantine Empire a lot, probably more than I like Pythium. Since the first iteration of Pythium I have been bothered by stuff. The lack of Varanginians is one such bother.
Mods are nice as they lets you have the cake and eat it. I think I will eat this cake
(if I start a dom3 game in the forseeable future).
