I was messing around with some AI Image Generators, trying to take some of the stock Victoria 3 event art images and using them as the base for a generated image depicting the same event, but in different parts of the world.
I figured I'd post my results here, to see if this is interesting enough to folks to be worth pursuing further, as a mod that replaces the event art based on which culture you play as.
Here is the base image I used - I grabbed it off the internet, we can probably get better results with a higher resolution base image?
I then used various prompts to try and generate a version of this image that would work for East Asia/Qing China specifically.
There are a few major limitations to what the AI can do. Faces will be blurry or twisted, text will be an absolute mess. But I do think the images above, at a glance, convey "Women marching for rights in East Asia" well enough, and with more flavor than the vanilla image.
So... what do you all think? Would you download a mod that uses these sort of AI generated images to give event art a little more variety? Or is it a stupid idea that should be buried (at least until the next generation of AI Image Generators blows us all away)?
