I don’t really know Miguel as I have used it for MOE mod for Napoleon. Last empire mod I used was AER by Iutland.
when I use a mod I normally stick with the mod author settings as to fully embrace the authors intentsions.
The reason I mentioned bran is because you said you have not modded the bai and cai. But I imagine you will have your own take on tweaks to ai as you have already done by altering unit stats.
