Here is the voting for the first completely unedited competition...
This one had enough that it should have had an internal poll like we did back in the day, but it's too
late now. There were a few pictures that are not included in this poll due to rule violations. There
were a couple that I almost didn't include, too.

1- "Heroism" by penguinking

Voted for myself just so I don't end up with no votes. Damn the immorality of voting for yourself.:eyebrows:

Ibn-Khaldun

01-03-2009, 00:45

I don't know what you're talking about! :inquisitive: :beam:

The Celtic Viking

01-03-2009, 00:58

Many good here, and it was hard to pick but in the end #12 won out. I like the idea of Romans killing Romans. :devilish:

desert

01-03-2009, 01:22

But there were several that were just as small as mine! :shame:

The General

01-03-2009, 10:00

There were only two candidates for me this time, and ended up voting #23 - just like the fact there's action in the foreground, impressive in itself, but the armies visible in the background just raise the scope of the engagement and remind that in such battles events even as dramatic as what we see on the foreground are but a mere small fraction of what makes up a large battle, of the drama and excitement, tragedy and euphoria... I'm not going too deep on this, am I, eh? :inquisitive:

Subotan

01-03-2009, 13:46

Crap, I forgot to title mine, I meant to call it "Cannonball".
Not that it's going to make any difference, judging by the response in the original thread *Mutters*
I like number 12; I love the way it seems to curve up and over the hill, and it looks like a pause that you might get in a civil war battle, when they wonder why they are fighting...yeah, definitely number 12.

Voted 20 because I hate fighting elephants :sweatdrop:

Very nice picture as well :2thumbsup:

I voted for 1, an excellent screenshot. Quite a few good ones this time.

Voted number 10. There's just something epic about those men running through rain-soaked woods. Also, the game looks suspiciously good there. Advertisement Screengrab, maybe?

It's quite astounding to see, that some that shouldn't have been voted for are beating the one that should win! Of course, this is just all one person's opinions.....

Come on number five!

Thanks! I found it pretty epic, to chase down the routing Gauls through their own forests with their own freaking light cavalry. Doesn't look like too many share my view though :laugh4:

Elephants sure are popular recently. Maybe I should add a "no elephants" rule to the next competition just so something else will win.

Subotan

01-06-2009, 22:01

Elephants are like "In the Hall of the Mountain King", in that whatever they are added to, it's awesomeness increases by a factor of 10.

Hush. I actually bribed them.

I personally voted 10, because..it just looks awesome.

Congrats Hax!

^RaGe^

01-12-2009, 18:12

Can we hand out an extra prize for those who didn't have elephants in their screenshots? :laugh4:

Nah, just kidding, congratulations Hax!

SwissBarbar

01-12-2009, 20:02

Someone who knows how, should create a banner for him :2thumbsup:

These need to be done for every single screen competition. Ever.
