- March of Giants AI art works best when you mirror the game's bronze, iron, and burnt-orange palette
- Core subjects: Giants, Soldier armies, trenches, bunkers, and siege Battleworks
- Official mood: dark fantasy warfare with cinematic lighting and high contrast
- Best format prompts: wide battlefield scenes, emblem-style icons, and hero key art
- Key rule: label fan art clearly and never claim it as official Ubisoft material
Understanding the March of Giants Visual Style
March of Giants is Ubisoft's free-to-play 4v4 MOBA/strategy hybrid where players control a Giant, command Soldier armies, and deploy Battleworks. Before generating AI art that actually feels like the game, you need to understand its official visual identity. The game's Steam store art leans heavily into dark fantasy warfare: black and deep brown backgrounds, bronze and dark iron materials, burnt orange glows, and cinematic firelight.
The three pillars of the game's art direction also give you three natural subjects for AI generations:
| Visual Pillar | Description | AI Art Application |
|---|---|---|
| Giants | Massive stylized warrior figures, bronze and iron armor | Hero-style key art, character studies |
| Soldiers | Large armies, battlefield formations, charges | Wide cinematic battle scenes |
| Battleworks | Trenches, giant slayer bunkers, cavalry, siege equipment | Environmental and tactical dioramas |
Before prompting, open the official March of Giants Steam page and study the header art, screenshots, and store assets. Matching the palette matters more than matching exact details — bronze-orange highlights against near-black backgrounds is the signature look.
Core Prompt Building Blocks
Every strong March of Giants prompt combines four ingredients: subject, material, lighting, and mood. The game's own branding brief describes its aesthetic as "ancient battlefield," "burnt orange glow," "black and deep brown background," and "cinematic fantasy strategy" — these phrases translate directly into effective prompt language.
Material Keywords
- Bronze and dark iron armor plating
- Aged, weathered metal surfaces
- Ancient battlefield textures
- Rough leather and heavy cloth
Lighting Keywords
- Burnt orange glow from fires and embers
- Cinematic rim lighting
- High contrast dark theme
- Dust and smoke atmosphere
Subject Keywords
- Massive giant warrior silhouette
- Army of soldiers in formation
- Fortified trenches and bunkers
- Siege equipment on a war-torn field
Composition Keywords
- Centered symmetrical icon (logos)
- Wide epic battlefield vista
- Low-angle hero shot
- Polished game key art style
The game's official emblem design notes offer a proven template. The described logo concept uses "a massive stylized letter G formed from bronze and dark iron, subtle giant-warrior silhouette, burnt orange glow, black and deep brown background, bold readable shape at small sizes." Adapting that structure gives you a reliable prompt skeleton for any icon-style generation.
The official branding guidance explicitly warns against tiny details and extra text in logo-style pieces. AI models struggle with small intricate filigree and legible text, so keep prompts focused on bold, readable shapes and large silhouettes.
Step-by-Step: Generating Your First Piece
Pick One Clear Subject
Choose a single focal point: a Giant, a Soldier charge, or a Battlework like a bunker or trench line. Single-subject prompts produce far more coherent results than "everything at once" scenes.
Write the Base Prompt
Combine your subject with the signature materials and lighting. Example: "A massive armored giant warrior in bronze and dark iron plating, holding a colossal weapon, standing over a trench line, burnt orange firelight, black and deep brown smoky background, cinematic fantasy war art, high contrast."
Set the Composition
For key art, add "low-angle heroic shot, epic scale." For icons, add "centered symmetrical composition, bold readable shape, no extra text, polished game logo style."
Refine in Iterations
Adjust one variable at a time — lighting, armor material, or camera angle — and regenerate. Changing multiple elements at once makes it hard to tell which edit improved the image.
The official March of Giants Discord, Reddit, and X channels are listed directly on the Steam page, making them the best places to share AI fan art and see what visual styles resonate with other players.
Ready-to-Use Prompt Templates
These templates adapt the game's confirmed visual pillars into plug-and-play prompts. Swap the bracketed subject while keeping the material and lighting language intact.
| Template | Best For | Example Subject Swap |
|---|---|---|
| "Massive [SUBJECT] in bronze and dark iron, ancient battlefield, burnt orange glow, black smoky background, cinematic fantasy war art, high contrast" | Giant key art | armored giant warlord, siege giant |
| "An army of [SUBJECT] charging across a war-torn field, firelight and embers, dark brown atmosphere, epic wide shot, cinematic strategy game art" | Soldier battle scenes | soldiers in formation, cavalry charge |
| "Fortified [SUBJECT] on a contested battlefield, trenches and smoke, bronze-toned lighting, dark fantasy military diorama, high detail" | Battleworks scenes | giant slayer bunker, trench line |
| "Premium fantasy military emblem, [SUBJECT] silhouette in bronze and dark iron, burnt orange glow, symmetrical icon, bold shape at small sizes, no text" | Logos and icons | giant warrior, crossed weapons |
The game's official theme palette centers on bronze-orange (roughly a burnt orange hue) over near-black backgrounds with warm off-white foreground text. Feeding similar color descriptions into your prompt — or using hex-style color words like "burnt orange" and "charcoal black" — keeps results on-brand.
Quality Checklist and Etiquette
Before Sharing Your Art, Verify:
- Palette uses bronze, dark iron, and burnt orange tones
- Subject is clearly a Giant, Soldier army, or Battlework
- Composition is bold and readable even at small sizes
- No fake official logos, watermarks, or Ubisoft branding added
- Post is labeled as fan-made AI art in the community
- Image does not claim to show real in-game screenshots
Because March of Giants is still in pre-release playtesting on Steam, there is a real risk of AI-generated images being mistaken for actual gameplay. Clear labeling protects both you and the community, and keeps expectations accurate ahead of future playtest phases.
The game currently shows "Coming Soon" on Steam with playtests announced through official Ubisoft channels. Never present AI art as leaked gameplay or screenshots — always mark it as fan art.

Q: Can AI art reproduce in-game characters exactly?
