Matrix Games Forums

So disappointing to read that the bulk of the recent, negative, reviews on Steam are related to the adding of AI art.
This, amazing, 4x deserves so much better per those willing to offer their opinions about this gem, imho.
I have been playing 4x pc games for 30+ years; if there is a better one out there...I have not played or seen it.

I just noticed that, which surprised me.

This is really a wonderful game, and it's rather sad that potential future players may overlook this title now.

What does having ai art have to do with the game?

People do have strong opinions about the AI, so the reviews are only reflection of the current mood.
I personally don't like gen ai and I'm not a fan of new ai gfx, but I wouldn't give bad review just because of that.
(Tbh I'd rather see Pymous art integrated within the game rather than ai, but thats just me)

AI art is a complete non-issue for a one man operation making a hex based strategy game, and an overblown one in most other contexts.
