did he die, penguinking?
Yep. But he took like 30 guys with him. It was the Gallic Mercenary that finished him off, I think.
What do you think of the screenshot?
You could show some more of the actual action, but it's a good picture whatsoever. The pike going through the Celt is also a bit disturbing, but ok. Hope you're not offended, just some constructive critisism here.

Maybe it got shoved through the Celt's cape?Quote:

Thanks. Constructive criticism is appreciated. I'm not a huge fan of shots that have tons of soldiers fighting, because it's really chaotic and you don't know which soldiers to focus on.Quote:

Our arrows will blot out the sun!
Damn, you can see my cursor wich makes it ugly!
Hi i'd like to post my screenshot but when i press insert image it asks me to "insrert url". what is that? Also i use fraps to take screenshots, will that change anything?
You need to upload your shot to a hosting site, I use photobucket, and you can link to there.

I might as well get this over with. :shame:
PS: This isn't TOO small, is it?
yes, and too edited :laugh4:
It doesn't look edited.
yes it does, it looks like drawn with a colored pencil to me
I think it's from a night battle.
mhwell, then my eyes are deceiving me. sorry
Haha, very funny.
Seriously, is mine too small, MAA?
It's certainly small but I don't think it could be described as tiny. Still it's up to MAA.Quote:

@ TCV: what a cool picture :rolleyes4: great ! :thumbsup:
@ tapanojum: maybe your picture-host-website does the resizing? try https://img84.imageshack.us/
Thank you Swiss, that fixed my problem.
Dangit, if only I knew sooner. I wasted a perfectly beautiful screenshot last month that didn't invoke as much as emotion since it was itsy bitsy size =P

Is this too small?
Cyruz, is that a sort of minimalist composition?
What do you mean?
i was joking, i dont know if it is too small, anyway you can cut the white border if you want with mspaint.
Yeah i forgot about the border.... i had wanted to adjust it but it skipped my mind.....
My title is: Woahaaa! Did i do that all by myself?[IMG]http://img19.picoodle.com/img/img19/...rm_a602158.jpg[/IMG]
I removed the Ui and placed the title here becuz i forgot how to crop the bitch:embarassed:
If you have photoshop, the tool you're looking for is called *drum roll* crop tool. Just choose it and then drag out and mark what you wish to keep and then press enter. You can easily do it with MS Paint as well, by marking what you wish to keep, hit ctrl+c, create a new picture and hit ctrl+v.Quote:

Yeh but the problem is that i dont have photoshop but paint.net.... and paint.net doesnt have crop
Ah, then you do it this way: you select what you wish to keep (preferably using the rectangle select tool, since it's likely you want a rectangular picture ~;)) and then open the Image menu. There you should see the option "crop to selection". Click it and voila! Your picture is cropped.
Ok thx Celtic Viking! but now :focus:
We've got fun and games...Quote:

Its small, because I got resolution issues with the screenshots, hence. I got it off of the historical battle of Thapsus.
Man I wish i could edit around with this one but at least it was nice and rainy ;) Ya was a great victory for my Hellons. We finally actually took Italy yesterday. Now its up into Gual and down to Carthage as well.

Forgive and forget Maion... i.e move away from the retard :clown:
Ah don't tell me you don't know the famous Hellons? What's up to you? And YOU I asked for help concerning Greek? :inquisitive: ~;) :laugh4:Quote:

I thought I'd heard that somewhere, but was too self concious to come out with it. I didnt want to sound like an idiot. :2thumbsup:

didn't we say that this is an unedited picture competition
I don't see anything edited in this screenshot. What do you mean SwissBarbar?
how can you move that map in the right upper corner and the unit list down below there in the picture??
That's minimal UI
in that case shame on me, i didn't say anything
Nice shot Berg. :2thumbsup:
One small suggestion: You do know that when using minimal AI you can disable the unit cards and battlefield map by pressing F5 and F7 (IIRC), don't you?
Cropping out the UI is still allowed I think.

This one is called "Look Maw, I can Float!". There was no editing at all, the guy really got on the air while I was playing.
EDIT - Resized.
No offence meant BtE, but thats been done many times before. Everyones seen it
That doesn't mean it loses the effect :P.
Anyhow that's the best I could come with now.
Hey, didnt know that, thank you!. I think you can disable the flags too, that can help to get a good screenshot also.Quote:

The Flag removal in on the Trivial Script, its not a hotkey like it is for the Unit cards and the minimap
It takes a little while to get used to playing, but definitely more enjoyable in the long run!Quote:
