But what if, for example, they took several puma cubs from a dead female puma and fed them from infancy, and by the time they were adults they were already domesticated, as happens in some zoos? Or would that be too much? If humans could domesticate horses and wolves in Europe, I don’t see why they couldn’t domesticate jaguars and pumas in America… ---

Yes, anything is possible…it could simply be a coincidence, since being historical civilizations, one can arrive at similar conclusions or concepts without needing to be influenced by anything or anyone…for example, without having seen them, we all know that the Vikings of AoE 4 will be like the Norse of Retold/Online…or that the Aztecs and Incas of Retold and in the future AoE 4 will be like their counterparts from 3… ---

But the simplest answer seems to me to be these two are different buildings. The other three though definitely look like the same building. ---

I agree with this — that building doesn’t feel like a settlement; it looks more like a trade workshop. The university looks amazing, but the monastery (if that’s the building in question) feels a bit underwhelming compared to what the new architecture set is showcasing. ---

I think it doesn’t make images sharper, but waifu2x isn’t GenAI, so I’d say it’s a better alternative to Gemini.
