Have you looked at the Ashikawa (Ashikaga) mod? Apparently early Versions were quit unbalanced, but the most recent one is ... quite "balanced" in the sense that it doesn't have an advantage over 90% of the stock races / themes. (I'm in a game with nothing but modded nations, experimented with the others in play, and know I'm in for a rough time.)

Ash has enough advantages to be interesting and even playable, but several weaknesses (one of which is huge) that apply to all the theme's troops, making it very vulnerable and easy to thwart - even by indies.

i only looked briefly at that mod . i have to admit that i don't like the theme very much . it reminds me too much on shogun : total war . so i didn't seriously play them .

what i myself like quite much too is the black moon chronicles mod with the empire of lyhn and the knights of the light . i think this mod is quite balanced too .
