Update May 2, 2024:

Backup included of original AI Files, all needed to install is copy and paste in:
Program Files (86x), Microsoft Games, Steam, steam apps, common, Age of Empires III, bin, AI3
Then it should work next time you play skirmish or play separately online vs computer!
Both players need it installed for LAN Play or Comp Stomps online!
In a bug when installing the Freestyle AI for N3O Added Pack 1.3z3Ra, Chinese will not build its Castles; switch difficulty, then switch back the the difficulty you want to fix this bug. There is often a minor bug when installing an update or switching from AI to another AI script for install. So make sure you switch difficulty, then resign, then launch the difficulty on the level that you want on (only is Chinese AI affected here).
Thanks for the fix.
Cheers.
