Nice, dude, good job taking the initiative. I'll look around my shots and see what's sitting around.

Just a suggestion though, cropping is your friend. A pic can be great but still look kind of strange because the UI and the minimap are sitting there. I would suggest using Gimp (http://www.gimp.org/) to edit your shots.

Welcome, it's my pleasure to open that thread, as it's always nice to see screenshots from others! and thanks for the advise, with GIMP, I didn't figured out how it's work yet, but eee, i posted only 4 pictures in my life on the forum (from wich the 3 above!) so, I still have to learn ;)

Looking foward to see your screenies!

Well, I couldn't choose only one pic but I see everyone post whatever number they like. It's good. More impressions.
Sorry but the caption has only one and the first pic

What trouble did you have with Gimp?

Another minor suggestion, but if this is a competition, shouldn't everyone be limited to one screenshot? If everyone is posting 5 or 6 shots, pretty soon we're going to have to be choosing between 100+ pics.

Unintended BM
04-06-2010, 20:03
I just use paint for mine, takes like a minute and a half.

Also, I agree, everyone should choose one of their pictures posted to enter.

I'll have to get some good pictures during my Iberian conquest.

Duguntz
04-06-2010, 20:22
Yeah! I started the thread, but i never participated to any screenshot contest! if someone is used, please, share the rules with us! if we must pick only one pic, it's fine with me! but let's establish a number of rules! ideas?

WinsingtonIII
04-06-2010, 20:39
@Duguntz

Here are the rules from last May's competition, perhaps they should go in your original post:

Rules
-One submission per person per month
-Must be from EB
-No picture editting for this month's competition
-Only slight cropping will be allowed (small pictures are ok, just not extreme cropping)
-Please keep the dimensions to a size that fits in the forum screen (maximum of 1024ish)
-Must obey forum rules

Suggestions
-Turn off banners
-Turn off arrows and/or deselect your units
-Make sure the cursor, "Paused", and map border aren't showing
-Crop out the UI (though too much cropping may get your pic disqualified)
-No Elephants

The reason for no elephants is because apparently a shot with elephants won three months in a row, so people were worried that everyone was going to just start taking pictures of elephants. They just had no elephants as a suggestion instead of a rule, but I think it could be either.

For cropping, I would say allow any cropping that is done to get rid of the UI, etc, but over-the-top cropping that focuses on only one or two men in a big picture is too much.

Anyway, I will resubmit an old one of mine, because I don't have any other and I think it deserves another shot. (Plus, I'd have to kick Celtic Punk's ass in self defence if I didn't. :laugh4:)

How do you remove the "paused" button? Or do you wait for just the right moment?
Also, I downloaded fraps and my UI changed... Now the map is in the top right corner and everytime I take a screenshot I have to crop out the top too. How do you guys take screens?

1) You can't remove pause button.
2) Why use fraps for screenshots? Just press the "Print Screen" button and you can find your images in your Rtw/Tgas folder :)

If you have anti-aliasing enabled your screenshots will be all black when using "print screen", IIRC.

If you - in-battle - press F1, a window will appear which lets you choose keyboard style setup. Select "FPS style setup"; and then you can toggle the radar visibility with F5 and the unit cards with F6. Hope that will help :)

04-07-2010, 18:40
As I recall, old rules were:

No excessive cropping
One submission per member
No previous entries allowed

So if you have submitted more than one, please select the one which you wish to use in the contest. I presume that there is a deadline that all entries must be submitted by in preparation for the poll vote?

Anyway here's my submission, from way back when I had an AAR, lol.

Hey you lazy buggers, this is a thread in the tradition of the venerable EB-screenshot competitions, and no "Post all your Screenshots"-Thread. :furious3:

Rules
- One submission per person per month
(to be read in the first post of this thread)

Pick your favourite screenshot yourself, and post ONE! You can post another one in the next competition. Pff, today's youth! Show the old EB ways the respect due to them!

I have spoken :brood:

i have an idea.
Duguntz, you pick the best 10 pics, then make a poll. the winner will get a "winner banner" that i will make, composed of his pic.
the winner will be the one judging the next competition (he cant submit for that competition), and so forth.

and Teucer you need to choose one. people who post multiple screens are disqualified.

Sounds interesting, how large is this "winner banner" going to be if you make one? If I may make a suggestion maybe the size of an EB-Fan user bar?
So that it fits in ones sig.

04-08-2010, 14:06
Very good idea indeed, when would be the limit for the screen presentation, and thus the start of the pool? we're still only at the beginning of april! what do you think about the 20 april?

All those with multiple screenshots, choose your favourite from those you posted and delete the others, otherwise you shall be disquilified.

Nice one pobs! i know what it does... in my sweboz campain, about 20 minutes ago, I captured Segesta... I won. But what a price it costed me. an army of 2300 crack troops (of corse, no real heavy infantry as i'm sweboz, but still, neeto swordsmen, duguntiz, slagonez... all with 3 chevron and upgraded armor in blacksmith)... against a garrison of a pettiful 700 light troops. I lost about 16oo guys in that massacre. Lost my core army of italy, now i must make come another one all way south from my capital and around it to counter the repetitive attemp of the romans to recapture rome...

Once upon a time, in EB history, there was a period when almost only pictures with elephants won the competitions. So a rule was made, that you should not post pictures with them, because it became boring. Now in EB modern era it is no rule, but still a suggestion. An echo from the ancient times of EB ;-)

I know its cheap to use elephants but after getting my ass handed to me in India I wanted to submit this one.

I took this after my disasterous seige of Opiana in India on my Sel Campaign. One of my few defeats against the AI.... Mainly due to the fact i wasnt prepared to face 166 Elephants the AI had there. Did not take into account Inida's Generals Elephant Bodyguard which is seen here. I manged to kill off all the elephants but they devestated my men to such a degree i couldnt manage to kill the rest of the indian footmen in the center of town. I had armored elephants of my own and the rest of my army were Indian raised guild warriors, Inidan Bowmen and spearmen...

I think they are fed for days!

But I have a Seleukid campaign too and I got all three cities with a half stack. I starved them and then had them come out on the last turn. Of course my army was fully equipped with javelins.

Mine wasnt. I rushed it. I had my elephants bash down the gates. What infantry did you use? Phalanx? Ah well i still killed their general and all their elephants almost won if i brought a few more units of Spearmen...

Yeah, Baktrian Light Infantry and maybe some Arachosian Skirmisher Cavalry is basically all you need to beat those towns. I would definitely suggest waiting for them to sally as well, because assaulting still seems like a death wish to me.

TOMOROW :)) all those with more than one picture, it's your last chance to choose only one. otherwise the pool won't include you!

I hope you are speaking not about me, coz I have chousen the first one, and you can see it in the Edit of my post.

BTW, may be we shouldn't pool out anyone but use only their first picture if they can't choose?

Hooahguy
04-23-2010, 03:49
Finn, it would be much appreciated if you erased your other pics. while they are nice, they are not necessary and will only cause confusion.

and no, if you enter more than one b/c they cant choose that is their fault. we will not choose for them, and they will be disqualified.

I dunno. Did you try to edit your first post and see if you can add a pool in it? Just guessing, I've never done something like that, just wanna help :)

Duguntz, just make a new thread, on the bottom choose the option for a poll for 10 best pics, then post those pics in the thread.
