Use of Generative AI

Eagle0 uses generative AI in some user-visible artwork and narrative text. This page explains exactly where it is, and is not, used.

Hero portraits

All hero headshot artwork is AI-generated. Eagle0 contains thousands of unique heroes, and commissioning that many individual portraits is beyond the project's current budget.

We would like to replace these with human-created artwork someday, but cannot currently promise that this will happen.

Narrative and flavor text

Large portions of the game's optional narrative color are written using large language models, including:

Most hero backstories. Some main characters' starting backstories were written by hand.
Chronicle entries.
Quest descriptions.
Vassal reports about events.
Similar descriptive or atmospheric text.

Some of this text is generated during play and may not have been individually reviewed before it is displayed.

Generated text does not determine gameplay. It does not determine game rules, probabilities, rewards, AI decisions, or outcomes. The underlying gameplay is resolved by the game's normal code and data.

Information sent to language models

Prompts sent to language-model providers are constructed from game state and developer-authored material. Eagle0 never sends player-provided text, account information, email addresses, OAuth information, or other personal data to language models.

What is not generated by AI

Hero names

Hero names are produced by a procedural name generator written before modern large language models became widely available. They are not LLM-generated.

Other game artwork

Most other artwork, including strategic-map assets, tactical hex tiles, effects, and animations, comes from licensed Unity Asset Store packages or similar asset libraries. Much of it predates widespread generative-image tools. Because these are third-party packages, we cannot guarantee that no individual asset involved generative AI somewhere in its production history.

Player controls

Eagle0 does not currently have a setting to hide LLM-generated flavor text. We are investigating an option to reduce or replace it with short deterministic summaries for players who prefer not to see it. Such an option would not remove the AI-generated hero portraits.
