Where Is Apollyon's AI Patch?

[DoMoNiC_HuNtEr]

Hello, my name is DoMoNiC_HuNtEr. Although I just recently (as of March 28th, 2008) registered to www.dune2k.com, I have known about this site for awhile; I remember the previous layout & design.

I discovered this website by googling for Dune 2000 Mods. I'm into Dune; I've read the original novel, and have been playing Dune 2000 for quite awhile. But I've always wanted to play Emperor: Battle for Dune (which I discovered by visiting this website), mainly because Dune 2k lacked unit diversity. So when after reading up on E-BFD's unit descriptions, I thought "Wow! This game kicks Dune 2000's ass AND face 1 million times over!"

It had it all: unit diversity, 3D graphics, and a supposedly intelligent Artificial Intelligence, according to one of Westwoods interviews. I wanted this game. Badly.

And now I finally have gotten it. For FREE! Thank satan for torrents.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The game runs fine, only one minor problem I've encountered, easy to work around it.

Now, I am hunting for DLC (Downloadable Content) for this game.

I've managed to get my hands on the official map packs (1 to 4- err, 3 to 6, whatever) from this site, as well as this magical mini mod, plus I got the cut out Heart Plug scene for the first Harkonnen mission. But I'm looking for more, something that enhances the AI, and possibly allows the player to ally with skirmish AI player(s).

I was going to download Apollyon's AI Patch, but I can't seem to find a healthy download link. The ones I've tried are DEAD.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, to summarize this post: I'm looking for E-BFD downloadable enhancments. If anyone is willing, please post links to anything that you think enhances E-BFD in anyway way, but preferebly some kind of AI enhancement, like Apollyon's AI patch.

Last but not least, does anyone know how to get an AI teammate in Skirmish? Or does anyone know of a custom map that upon the start of the match, you're automatically allied to a number of AI players; that would be awesome. Choosing your starting position would also be awesome.

Thanks in advanced.

Pretty sure that this link still works.

Yup, just downloaded it again, along with the Mini-Patch.  If it's not working for you, I can upload it elsewhere, but try that first.

EDIT: Here's the entire section for Emperor enhancements.

Sweeeeeeeeeeet, thanks alot, man.

Huh. Odd. I've never come across the second link that you posted before. When on the homepage, I go to Downloads, then E-BFD mods, but only two downloads show up, rules.ini & art.ini. Maybe I'm doin' something wrong...

Anyways, thanks for the links, appreciate it.

I'm guessing the cause is different, but my problem is the same... I can't download Apollyon's Patches (or anything else, it seems). The download links "work" - that is, they feed me files such as "Patch_v5.zip" for the Mini-Patch - but all I wind up with are 0 byte files. Bummer. :(

Any help? Greatly appreciated :)

hmm, you're right, it seems something is wrong with the downloads system.

[Moleman]

Ah, well, ask and ye shall receive, I suppose. :)

Everything seems to be working just dandy now. Either someone was on that problem right quick, or I just came looking at the exact wrong time. Thanks for the confirmation anyway though, Nyerguds.

Hehe, Gob fixed it quickly once someone filed a bug report.
