Here's mine. I call it: "An Athenian's Last Stand"

Taken from my current Pontic campaign, where Makedonia and Epeiros dominated all of Greece except for Athens, which was usually under siege, and Sparta, I felt it was my duty to "liberate" the southern Hellenes from Makedonian oppression. My expeditionary army having easily taken Sparte and after a short but costly battle for Korinth, my army had encountered one of Chremonides's sons and was attempting to stop me from, uh, "freeing" Athens from its Makedonian burden. Needless to say, it didn't end well. For the Athenian. And yes, both my general and the Greek general are in the picture, harder to spot the Greek one though, as you can only see his plumed helmet.

Very dramatic landscape, Megas Pyrrhos. :smiley:


Here's my entry. A postcard from the front.

Antigonos and Chremonides at Athens, 271BC

Known to me as Ouch! or Why Not To Mess With Triarii, this is the fate of the Tarantine Commander after his defense was shattered by a republican army.

If you guys want the original resolution to show up, don't upload .bmp's to imageshack.

[Gaivs]

neither of those are bmp. The first is Jpeg, the second is PNG.

[Ayce]

Imageshack has a 2mb file limit so it resizes the pictures if they're too big. It happened to me, and I though that was the case here.

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

It's quite small cause I cropped out quite a bit mainly cause of the red line and Soldiers looking idly at the horizon... Do you like it?

Do you like the following? I think it's awesome too:

CN, you have good luck with pictures.

Do you happen to have a raw of your first one in this thread?

Sorry if you mean that .raw format. Also I already deleted the bmp. :no:
I can upload the full screen though if you like.

[anelious phyros]

Who won the may competiton? I never saw a poll.

[Africanvs]

Obelics won the day. Here. (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=104542)

[Hooahguy]

flying pig, it would be much better if it were lager/centered on the action, and banners and arrows turned off

[Baktrion Agema]

'its going to be one of those days....'
It would have been even better, I timed it slightly wrong, a split second later there would have been three of them covered in flame and skewered in a line. The heavy cropping is because of my minimal UI settings which means I must lose the top aswel due to the minimap.

F5, F6 and F7 can remove those things, if you wish.

[Ayce]

Uh, in minimal UI you can turn off minimap, unitscards and so on.

EDIT: Damn, Swordmaster beat me to it.

"Battle of Antiocheia"

https://img45.imageshack.us/img45/8500/battleofantiocheiaep0.th.jpg (https://img45.imageshack.us/my.php?image=battleofantiocheiaep0.jpg)

lightly edited screenshot (removed fps counter, cropped unit bar)

Situation:
After I conquered Antiocheia with the Koinon Hellenon, the Silver Death was awoken and sent 2 full stacks towards the city, garrison counting only ~600 men (survivors of the harsh conquest battle).
But my glorious Kretan archers managed to put the single Seleucid siege tower and their ram to fire, so they only had 2 sets of ladders remaining where they tried to swarm the walls. But no way they gonna beat my Galatikoi Tindanotae waiting on the wall and slashing every soldier who sets foot on it.:viking:


I prefer not editing my screenshots too much. Everybody knows the RTW-engine is not good for hyper realistic screens and I prefer seeing how awesome the game can look merely by the work the EB team has put into their mod and what they managed to get out of that antique engine.:yes:

[ombudsman]

love the screenshot senshi, looks fabulous! :2thumbsup:

Sorry. I just noticed how funny it was on the spur of the moment, and then found this contest.

[The Celt]

As for those poor Jews in the same screen shot?:skull:

[Olimpian]

Nope,it was in Hyrkania I believe,Pahlava campaign,fighting the AS;they owned Gerrhaia and probably brought them from there.No wonder they lost that battle badly...


As for those poor Jews in the same screen shot?:skull:

As for the Jews,I'll ice them too so they don't feel discriminated :smash:

[Swordmaster]

Where do you guys put the cursor? I usually have my best screens ruined by the cursor being right in the middle of the action.

[Megas Pyrrhos]

Nice one Lysandros.

[Lysandros]

Thanks! But yours is better anyway ;)

Holy cow! That's just great!:balloon2:

[The General]

Both Lysandros' and Augustus Ceasar's 'shots are pretty damn awesome.

[Megas Pyrrhos]

I concur, even with the banners still active in AC's shot, it's still a well-captured moment. Plus the photo-shopping element kinda makes up for them pesky banners as well.

As for Lysandros's shot, it's hard to capture shots like that and still have them look good in the end. At least in my experience. That's why I stick with close-up action shots, as I suck at the whole battle-line thing.

[Leviathan DarklyCute]

Wow.. we got some nice screens this month..

[Hax]

The Thracian's Triumph

[Ayce]

NICE... BTW, what faction are those guys?

[Tellos Athenaios]

Looks like Maks v. Romans, and the Romans lost. <_<

[Hax]

Yeah, this was actually a battle in Illyria. I used these guys to block a pass, so my Celtic army could retreat safely to Dalminion.

[Cadwalader]

Illyria does get messy. :yes:

I'm weak for those battle line shots like Lysandros' addition. It's because I have to use normal or large myself.:no:

[Senshi]

*coughcough*

I don't know if we in Germany here have totally different calendars, but mine states it's 07 July now, and by that I think "June" is officially finished :sweatdrop:

[Tellos Athenaios]

Hmm. On planet EB, a deadline only becomes a deadline when a mod closes the thread. :beam:

[Senshi]

Oh okay, so this is also the official EB "When the month REALLY ends" - Thread? :laugh4:

[/Bean\]

Soooo....technically its still June, thus competition is still on? Groovy :2thumbsup:

P.S. Atm i'm a bit stuck choosing between Lysandros and AC....will have to wait for poll to decide :-)

[ibleedgrenchese]

little late but what the heck just for fun

[General Appo]

Bump. WTH is going on here?

[Senshi]

I don't know. I think there are enough entries for a poll, so why not simply start one? :dizzy2:

[Puupertti Ruma]

Maybe someones is having a vacation?

[Senshi]

Ah, they found another sneaky, sneaky way:laugh4:

Just made it the June/July competition :2thumbsup:

Well, let's hope they don't dare turning it into a June/July/August-competition...:smash:

[||Lz3||]

I foresee a 2008 Screenshot competition :laugh4:

well let them have their vacations :2thumbsup:
