Looks like that whole thread has been deleted form the Facebook group. At least two people confirmed some of the art has been done with AI - one recalling the creator being open about it and another saying the French version has the Midjourney credit.

I wasn't excited for this game, as I felt it wasn't overly revolutionary and with only a hardback ruleset, beyond what I'd like to spend. But now I'm just disappointed with Victrix. Maybe they will clarify the situation, but not disclosing AI use to me is just shady, like they wanted to hide it knowing it will have its opponents (which was most of the people who commented under that original Facebook thread). Just hope the thread was deleted because it was getting personal, not because Victrix is trying to sweep the whole thing under the rug.

They still haven't made a comment on the fact - even though there's been big threads on Reddit about it as well. At this point it feels very much like rug sweeping to me - which is a colossal shame.

I think wargames businesses often feel they need to offer rules as part of a complete package to help sell their figures. Sometimes, perhaps it would be best for them to just stick to their knitting ;)
You found the right word „feel“. The result is often a non-working system or a bad copy of an existing system. I ordered Pilage and received it last week. Didn‘t find the time to look in it, only a short view. Great book with a lot of pictures. Hope the rules will work.
