If they will play with the Mayan mod and the Lusitan you would know how difficult it is to vary the buildings. I told Duileoga to differentiate and he must follow the patterns of the game. For Han, I don't see it as difficult as those mentioned above. Maybe it needs more props.

I mean display options. Turn off terrain...turn off icons...turn off units...turn off buildings...display only military...only economic....etc etc....

It would be good to start putting options on the minimap.

Images of Roma had elements in common with other goddesses, such as Rome's Minerva, her Greek equivalent Athena and various manifestations of Greek Tyches, who protected Greek city-states; among these, Roma stands dominant, over piled weapons that represent her conquests, and promising protection to the obedient. Her "Amazonian". Roman coinage shows a warlike "Amazon" type, possibly Roma but in Mellor's opinion, more likely a genius than dea (goddess). During the late Second Punic war and the Pyrrhic war, Rome issued coins with a Phrygian helmeted head; some are stamped 'Roma". In later coin issues, Roma wears varieties of the Attic helmet, the standard pattern for Roman army officers. In cases where clear coin legends are lacking, identification has been unresolved. Other female members of Romes's official pantheon were also helmeted, including Bellona, and Minerva, the latter being equivalent to Greek Athena, who is believed by some scholars to be Roma's original.[6] The earliest, more-or-less unequivocal coin identification of Roma is a silver stater of c275 BC issued by Rome's ethnically Greek allies at Locri, on the Italian peninsula. It shows an enthroned woman with shield and other war-gear, clearly labelled as Roma. Another woman, labelled as Pistis (Greek equivalent to Roman Fides, or "good faith"), stands before Roma with a crown of leaves raised above her head. A Roman denarius of 114/115 shows Roma with Romulus, Remus and the she-Wolf, the mythological beast who fostered them, and nourished them with her milk; the coin image implies that Roma has protected and nourished Rome since its very foundation. Her "Amazonian" appearance recalls the fierce, barbaric, bare-breasted Amazons who fought in the Trojan war alongside the Trojans, supposed ancestors of the Romans.

Start this task by drawing the Roman patron city guardian Roma. I'm going to do at least 3 variations.

continuing with Roma. A helmeted figure on Roman coins of 280-276 and 265-242 BC is sometimes interpreted as Roma but the identification is contestable.[5] Other early Roman coinage shows a warlike "Amazon" type, possibly Roma but in Mellor's opinion, more likely a genius than dea (goddess). During the late Second Punic war and the Pyrrhic war, Rome issued coins with a Phrygian helmeted head; some are stamped 'Roma". In later coin issues, Roma wears varieties of the Attic helmet, the standard pattern for Roman army officers. In cases where clear coin legends are lacking, identification has been unresolved. Other female members of Romes's official pantheon were also helmeted, including Bellona, and Minerva, the latter being equivalent to Greek Athena, who is believed by some scholars to be Roma's original.[6] The earliest, more-or-less unequivocal coin identification of Roma is a silver stater of c275 BC issued by Rome's ethnically Greek allies at Locri, on the Italian peninsula.

Another woman, labelled as Pistis (Greek equivalent to Roman Fides, or "good faith"), stands before Roma with a crown of leaves raised above her head.

Her "Amazonian" appearance recalls the fierce, barbaric, bare-breasted Amazons who fought in the Trojan war alongside the Trojans, supposed ancestors of the Romans. In the late Republican and early Imperial era, Roman literature presents Roma as one of the Roman people's several "Great Mothers", who included Venus and Cybele.[4] Ennius personified the "Roman fatherland" as Roma: for Cicero, she was the "Roman state", but neither of these are dea Roma.[7] Though her Roman ancestry is possible - perhaps merely her name and the ideas it evoked, according to Mellor - she emerges as a Greek deity, whose essential iconography and character were already established in Italy, Magna Graecia and Rome

That's the point of me using my own ability. One to generate the whole idea. Second to perfection the details, the Ai doesn't know how to draw historical things like helmets only van draw fantasy stuff. It's basically mixing all kinds of techniques. -

. In this post we are going to investigate the gods that symbolize the cultures and their iconography. Roma(Rome) Roma was a female deity who personified the city of Rome and more broadly, the Roman state.[1] She was created and promoted to represent and propagate certain of Rome's ideas about itself, and to justify its rule. She was portrayed on coins, sculptures, architectural designs, and at official games and festivals. Images of Roma had elements in common with other goddesses, such as Rome's Minerva, her Greek equivalent Athena and various manifestations of Greek Tyches, who protected Greek city-states; among these, Roma stands dominant, over piled weapons that represent her conquests, and promising protection to the obedient. Her "Amazonian" iconography shows her "manly virtue" (virtus) as fierce mother of a warrior race, augmenting rather than replacing local goddesses. On some coinage of the Roman Imperial era, she is shown as a serene advisor, partner and protector of ruling emperors. In Rome, the Emperor Hadrian built and dedicated a gigantic temple to her as Roma Aeterna ("Eternal Rome"), and to Venus Felix, ("Venus the Bringer of Good Fortune"), emphasising the sacred, universal and eternal nature of the empire

For Romans you can use Luperca (She Wolf or make the goddess Rome) the patron "domina" of the city. Also the pegasus. -

I'm coming guys, I just wake up. I am going to open a research post since the tree of life is present in many cultures. It is also very varied. -
Good work, To keep improving. Buen trabajo.

You're welcome, we couldn't have done it without that initial idea from your team of modders.

Obviously it will continue to change when they make legislation. But it is still a very good tool to inspire artists or to be able to teach an artist how to draw a certain graphic style. -

So let's say... Suppose the following I'm not satisfied and I tell to the Ai I want that imitate the Spanish baroque by Velázquez style. -

the idea is to use it as a base. as a pattern, style to follow. The only change you are really making is changing the drawing style. for example if I want it a little more baroque? You already gave me a new idea I'm going to try to make it look like a painting by Leonardo da Vinci as much as possible. -

Even if it's not totally legal, it's inspiring. I was trying to generate the face of Aurelianus. Now come me and tty to redraw from my own fist and ability. The ai would only be my muse (model) and my guide. -

Original image. Last night I was playing with ai stable diffusion. I wanted to play the artistic abilities and I remembered that there is more to things than icons. Obviously, not having drawings available and being so late, took for random images in Google. So to create images or explore ideas it occurred to me to add the following primo: victorious, Caesar, angel, old paint, baroque, neoclassic oil painting. This was the result. This means that I can imitate certain art, with little effort. Or at least time. The Ai still has a hard time drawing people from behind unless I write it. I plan to make not so detailed drawings and finish them off with the ai. And if it is not enough to perfect them with Photoshop and Studio Paint. .
