I may try to help, with a step by step approach, but only for PC Windows 10.
How to update the game: Build 18
1/2 - updating the game
2/2 - updating the [SAI_NUM_NEUTRAL_ATTACKERS][2] AI
1/2 - First download the file:
EDCEWindows64.zip or EDCEWindows32.zip
The Zip file contains 1 folder: win64 or win32 enter the the folder...
There are 3 files. keep this folder open and just move it apart.
* Look on your desktop for the Icon normally used to launch the game: Empire Combined Edition
Original name should be: EmpireCombined.exe - Shortcut
Right click on the desktop icon - the second top voice is - Open File Location
Despite the install location, you should have three files:
1 Folder - EmpireCombined_Data
1 File - EmpireCombined.exe
1 File - UnityPlayer.dll
(Note: These three are the same files that should be present in the zip file. that we moved apart).
Back to - Open File Location... current Game directory location:
Select the 3 files and delete them (yes remove the 2 files and 1 folder).
From the zip file select the 3 files, and drag them in game folder.
Ok - The game is updated - Now you may try to launch the game, and see if it works.
End 1/2
2/2 - updating the [SAI_NUM_NEUTRAL_ATTACKERS][2] AI file
Finding this folder location may be tedious, a easy way is to:
Open the Hdd where the game is installed: in my case is C:
press F3 and in top right search box: type - StandardAi
Press Enter... and wait... While a green bar scrolls.
You may have more files with this name, the one that we are looking for is:
Folder: long... bla bla bla... "KBSW\EmpireDeluxe\unknown"
please see print screen below:
1 right click on this file and - open file location.
This is a Txt file with no extension - StandardAi
Note: If you use standard window notepad... it may create the unwanted .txt extension. (We don't want this extension)
If possible download Notepad++ (free to use editor) or be aware that the notepad will add the StandardAi.TXT
This said, edit this file: we are looking for this string:
[SAI_NUM_NEUTRAL_ATTACKERS [2]
and we want to add after _ATTACKERS (a missing bracket)
Note: No space between ][2]
[SAI_NUM_NEUTRAL_ATTACKERS][2]
Save file as it is, and you're updated
End 2/2
Hoping this may help
