If you want to try and give the rest of Asia equal footing against Europe, you should probably tweak the pip system which is currently designed to give Europe an advantage with Europeans having better pips starting at I believe tech 16. Also may I suggest replacing the arty buff in Farang guns to be artillery fire instead of ACA? IMO combat ability shouldn't be gained through tech/institutions.

I will look into the difference between Artillery Fire and Artillery Combat Ability. The combat systems have always been rather opaque to me. I just want to institution to make a significant difference.

The scope of this mod is purposefully limited. I only mean to tackle the most explicitly historiographic elements of the game. That is Institutions and Ages (future plans). I will never tackle the pip system. Per above I am not qualified to tinker with that.
