Demo version - AntiquePunk mod: Operation Pshada Bay (Close Combat TLD v5.50).
The mod features a small campaign and battles on separate maps. The mod's features and lore are displayed on the strategic map screen. Additionally, there is a separate folder in the game's directory with related ...

Can that AI draw maps?

I know it won't be able to code the under-the-bonnet stuff, but what about the top-down orthographic view?


There were some examples of how AI creates maps for one of the CC game series somewhere, it was probably on a discord channel...
It looks decent...
I think if the ...

Thank you, then I'll try to add an appropriate voiceover...



Over the past week, I have prepared division icons for the SPQR side.
Now the full set of division icons looks like this:

Lots of Roman Marines! nice.

I'm also thinking about redoing the voices and weapon sounds ...

Looks so cool!

have you done something about the voices? 'Europa Barbarorum' mod may have some historical voice lines that could be useful.


I'm also thinking about redoing the voices and weapon sounds, but it's a bit unclear how to implement 3 different languages for one nation...
I haven't ...

Icons for uniforms, medals, and divisions for the Sassanid faction have been prepared:

Sass div:
Ranks:
Medals:

Finally, I've finished the tedious work of encoding the maps, and now I'm moving on to the stage of drawing various menus, buttons, etc.
Example - the main menu screen:

Incredible, this AI interaction really adds to the lore.


Well, I'm not in favor of using AI directly for everything, it's just that in this particular case I wanted to check myself for serious logical gaps.
And, in general, it turns out, as it seemed to me, with this AI it is already quite ...

While I was in the middle of coding the 5th map, I saw that a new AI, Kimi-K2, had been released.
I was intrigued by this news, so I decided to test it out. As it happened, I had the lore of my created universe in mind.
So, I gave him the lore of the Antiquepunk universe, the chronology of events ...

Examples of CCTLD APU mod: Operation Pshada Bay in-game visualization of tanks:


SPQR tanks inside of landing ships:

Sassanids tanks at Pshada village repire site:

Sasanids armor:
An Indian monster tank that I would like to use on the Sassanid side as imported equipment:

The tedious work of correcting the scale of the created maps is almost finished.
The coding phase is now beginning.
While I'm coding the maps and stitching them into a demo campaign, I decided to post a 3D visualization of armored vehicle samples, which I'll add to the project I'm creating.
I ...

After loading the map into the game, it became obvious that the scale of the objects had to be adjusted.
The first screenshot shows how it was, the second one shows how it became:

During the adjustment, the white contours-the edges of the interior layer-were ...

sides base colors on creating debrief map:

colors sides.jpg

The colors are chosen in such a way that there would be no accent on Blue/Red, White/Black, Good/The bad stuff.
There is bad in every side, there is good in every side. Therefore, the colors are blue-bluish for the Persian side and ...

Working with the strategic map:

The work has now moved into the field of cartography...
In parallel, a set of awards is being drawn.
So far, one medal is ready - the first level (The one that will replace the Purple Heart) for the spqr faction:

I guess it won't be possible to fully add two new units to the mod I'm working on at the same time, so when choosing between an equestrian unit that has some clumsiness, issues with replacing death animation frames, and an infantry unit in "long clothes", which will be the main one for half of the ...

A complete set of pictographs of infantry combat groups.
The pictographs of armored vehicles are still in operation...
