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...
Spies in the pay of Stollen's General von Drosselmaier, privately referred to as "The Craven One" by officers junior to him, report that the invading Stagonian Army is formulating plans to sieze the village of Saegewerkdorf, strengthen it, and establish a suppply depot and magazine, which will provide the vile ones with the means to cement their hold on the Grand Duchy should they win the coming battle. Never ones to shirk when there is spying to be done, and as equally reprehensible as the Stagonians, Von Drosselmaier's agents of have also recovered a copy of this rough map, prepared presumably by Stagonian engineer officers.
