This thread is more concerned with terrain textures rather than AI textures, having said that, I do like your work KR.
Have you considered starting your own thread to showcase your artwork?

I believe I said this exact same sentence back in 2016:

It looks like you've caught a plagiarist red-handed, friend Purgator.
milliezul1980, Plagiarist. Flogging and factory work for thee!

Given the addition of the highly suspicious URLs, I'd say 100% certainty it's a spambot.

(
https://youtu.be/PFC32MzqHIc?t=1404) This video (time included in URL) looks like it shows vicM04\vic60 (wooden panel with vaulted arch pattern and Hammer emblem). From that mad German castle*.
I am aware that many textures came from this building, but that one hasn't been enhanced. All other pictures of the room in the above link are taken from just a few angles, so it may be that there's nothing out there that can be used.

Do we all spend our spare time watching the same people on YouTube and their medieval history videos?
Nice find, in any case. Not sure how practically useful it is, unless someone wants to go there and get some photographs.
That panel is also used (more directly) in ViCM012 / vic30, which (

What do these textures have in common (besides appearing in the very bestest video game of all time)?
Well, their sources can all be found under one very splendid roof!
Intrigued?
Then go forth and sneaketh! Roam around and find these source textures on your tod, in the very Thiefiest of all settings....

Have a look around Warwick Castle and see if you can spot the sources for the four textures listed.
Had enough? Swag bag empty?

When I looked at the castle's official website, there was even a quote from "Jorge, UK".
Doesn't look like the virtual tour has good angles for turning into textures (plus, scraping them would presumably be illegal anyway.)

I've traced one of the sources (wgrain04) used by LGS, to a publication produced by Warwick Castle in the 1980s.
For reference, this is a scan of the source photograph from that publication, Warwick Castle by Paul Barker, 1987. It is the exact source for the LGS wgrain04 texture.

The link below is an updated version of that book from the early 2000s.
(
https://archive.org/details/warwick-castle/mode/2up?view=theater) Warwick Castle: A 1000 Years Of History In Your Hands Page 31 shows the newer version of the wgrain04 source.
These books are out of print, but they can still be purchased online from many secondhand book outlets.
I suspect when LGS were deep into their Dark Camelot phase, they would have used a lot of material pertaining to English history, castles in particular, for texture sources. Many of the TDP textures I've found are based in English architecture (Oxford/Salisbury/Bath/Ludlow).
Scan link fixed.
