A rmed with a second cup of fresh, strong coffee, I messed around a bit this morning with artlist.io using its image to image function in an attempt to convert my hand-drawn map from September 2006 to something that more resembles an old map from the mid-18th century. And just like my experiments with Ninja AI in June, the results are mixed. The above map is pretty good, but Artlist keeps fouling up the place names and has trouble putting a faint overlay of hexes across the entire area. Hexes, admittedly, are not likely to be found on any genuine maps from the era in question, but there we are. Frankly, I prefer the appearance of the Ninja map, but there were problems getting it to correct its errors. Grrrr. As is the case with so much having to do with the various AI's out there now, the output generated is a direct result of the prompts entered. For text alone, and when you develop a lengthy, highly detailed prompt, it is...
Major Heinz von Gherkin rides up and invites Genral von Drosselmaier to fire first.
"The Newts" and Freiherr Wilhelm's Pioneers (in the background) move out to assault Pelznikkel.
The independent company of Pillau-Zerbst's Wolmar-Bock Regiment follows in support.
On the far side of the battlefield, Stollen's senior infantry regiment, the Von Laurenz Musketeers, advances on the eastern side of Pelznikkel.
A view along the second line of Stollenian troops.
