What the developer says
Critias Empire uses images of public domain 18th and 19th century classical oil on canvas paintings, but since there are only a limited number of these, AI generated images are used where no appropriate historical public domain image can be found. This includes backgrounds, illustrations for buildings, features, disasters, maps and characters, plus live ops, events and marketing material. The images are generated using paid subscription to Midjourney. Crystalline Green Ltd. owns the copyright on the generated images. We are a small independent studio with limited budget, but we appreciate not everyone is comfortable with use of AI generated images in commercial games, so we understand if you would prefer not to play our game. Feel free to contact us if you have further questions or concerns.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe developer discloses that Midjourney-generated images fill gaps for backgrounds, illustrations, characters, maps, and events. The game also uses public domain classical paintings, and the studio shows a long Steam history with no rapid-release pattern. The curator note repeats the disclosure and adds no independent evidence. Against: The disclosure states AI is used only where no appropriate historical public domain image can be found, suggesting limited rather than core use. |
