Migration of the Belgae

https://img300.imageshack.us/img300/...gaepeople3.png


The Belgic tribes forsaking their homeland due to the expansion of the Germanic tribes....

Red Sky at Night, Seleucid Delight

Mere seconds later, some Kataphraktoi who had forded the river struck the Phalanx from behind. The battle lasted for about another 25 seconds.

That's a beautiful shot Swissbar.

nice pictures!

Thank you :beam:

I give up.

Galaxy Quest FTW!

And that's one hardcore screen, Swiss. :furious3:

Migration of the Belgae wins hands down.

I like this one. I have a lot
https://i491.photobucket.com/albums/...Market/Yay.jpg
Take that!!!

Swissbar AWESOME!!!!!! That is the best screen shot I have ever seen!!!

Swissbarbar great screenshot, same to you Super Market.

Here's mine: The Macedonian Assault

https://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e...titled-2-1.jpg

Wow Swiss i agree with Antinous, that is a really spectacular screenshot, definitely one of the best i've seen.

SwissBarbar should have better used the smaller trees...



Battle of Genusia or How to Skewer a Roman

https://img26.imageshack.us/img26/88...ntriariera.jpg

Cool shot.

You'd have my vote centurio. :2thumbsup:

EDIT: Ok I got mine now.

I call it "Battle of the Big Six" ; the six refers to the three Romanii commanders, all Cornelii, and of my commanders, Milon Sybotios, the overall commander, Sokleion Aiakides, his brother-in-law, and Kamandros Argeades, their 4th cousin. Took place around 216 B.C. near the Campania-Kalabria border.

What smaller trees :inquisitive: :inquisitive: Smaller trees in northern Gaul would not have been realistic :no:

However, I very much like your screenshot and same to Megas Pyrrhos :2thumbsup:

Spluh?

Those, my friend, are the size of the largest sequoias. No, no, no, way were the trees in gaul that size.

Don't you hang my picture to those trees :whip: :whip:

Thermon is one of my favourite cities, you can recruit elites as KH or as Epeiros.

Without challenging the "Migration of Belgae" which I will even probably vote for, I would like to share with you another picture of mine just to enjoy the beauty of the EB landscape and sky under setting Sun. :bow:

I call it The Sorrow Harvest...
https://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...rowHarvest.jpg

it feels like that horse is staring at me...

Centurio and Megas Pyrrhos get an instant-win for me.

Maion

Centurio's second...I think Swiss' looks fantastic...wow, arse-licking out of character as well :beam:

I'm voting Centurio's, that one's perfect in every way. Particularly that one Triarus (?) in the foreground who's about to get a spear in the face.

Platinum.

~:eek: Swiss' pic is just amazing! mmm amazing isn't the right word to describe it... magnificent fits better, but still not enough. Anyway it's probably the best pic I've ever seen!

MAA missed this for the last competition and he allowed me to repost.

Looking at the pics that already have been posted, I doubt I stand a chance... Great shots everybody!


Chiswick, Fresh Horses!

Ooh let me guess in advance...the horses on the left under the trees? :beam:

I was bored with work and all this ETW hype so i decided to come back to the Org.
Its been long since i came into the forums, and i felt like playing EB today, i restarted a campaign on my old build.... and a Screen poped out of today's efforts as the lusitanii...

https://img91.imageshack.us/img91/8876/0121my8.jpg

the f5. f6, and f7 are your friends for screens in Campaign battles=)

Dont mind the alien units of blue men though.

Triarius is the Nominative singular, Triarii is the Nominative plural.

Whose shield is that in the middle? never saw that before

The Luso unit's shield?

Same size, shape and has Luso markings on it..

I thought it was one of a gestikapoinann, and they look like this:


https://www.europabarbarorum.com/i/u...ikapoinann.gif

But now I see that it belongs to the Iberi Caetrati

The shield itself looks like the basic Iberian caetra shield.

https://www.europabarbarorum.com/i/u..._caetratii.gif https://www.europabarbarorum.com/i/u..._caetratii.gif


But the unit itself looks alot like the gestikapoinann indeed. Strange...

I say finding out what those blue units is more important. What are those??

Irish units?

Seriously, all of the UK units are blue...

The Irish didnt use woad did they?

they are one of old webbirds types of gaesatae, its on one of the download packs from her in TWC.
They are an allusion to one of my favorite series, HBO Rome, and they are supposed to be the "Blue Spaniards". it throws Historical reality out the door, but what the heck, i want to have too. Their stats are equal to the ones of the Gaesatae, and only recruitable in numantia.

"Alright. Sh*t. Body count."

Here's my first go.

Sharing is Caring
https://i131.photobucket.com/albums/...ngIsCaring.jpg

Yes, the Ptolemaic soldier was kind enough to step aside from his ladder in order that my Drapanai could scale the walls and rejoin their comrades in battle. Moments like these give me a warm, fuzzy feeling deep down inside. :smug2:

We are going to help you get back to Yemen!
https://i252.photobucket.com/albums/...3-47-50-82.jpg

I'm not pretending to win with this one, but for the sheer fun of it I decided to post this screenshot. It is from a absolutelly hilarious 1vs1vs1 battle between me (Getai), IrishHitman (Makedonia) and Gabeed (Saba). These poor fellows in the picture are backstabbers Sabyn, who got a good lesson from my podromoi of how not to mess with getai! :whip:

Alright, Silence Hunter, you pictures always seem so superb. Would you mind posting your computer specs on my profile? Because seriously, your screenies are of marvellous quality. Better than anyone elses.

https://i155.photobucket.com/albums/...er/walking.jpg

Walking the Line.

Nice I had a pic like that from a siege battle in SS

"Single file lads! No budging!"
https://img14.imageshack.us/img14/1834/singlefile.jpg

This is from my AS campaign, never saw the AI do this yet. Swissbarbar, you have my vote!

kewl! how did you get them to do thus?

Drag the unit until it is single file?

Though I have not sent any before. I wanted to try. I took this screeny from my ongoing campaign.
So I had no intention to put here, so I just cropped minimap and ui. I have no idea how much cropping you allow if you cannot accept I can change with uncropped one.

I hope swissbarbar wins best one:yes:

From Persian Campaign. I liked this guys even I can recruit them with Pahlava. So I felt sorry for them to attack from behind, but war is war :shame: They really fought to death except the last 2 cowards.

*on a wall.

It happens when the AI is triyng to get inside a wooden gate but has too many unts all stuffed toghether, at least that's the only times i encounter it, and it's always with horse archers.

"Dahae always ride single file to hid their numbers, these tracks are side by side. And these arrow wounds, too accurate for Dahae, only Pahlavi Zradha Shivatir are so precise..."

haha nice

Pfffffff ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!:laugh4::laugh4::laugh4::drama2:

Epic reference.

I think you deserve a balloon for that!

I... actually didn't get that one.

Star Wars, man. Star Wars!

Wow, three balloons for one quote :laugh4: cheers guys! I wish i had a screenshot to contribute, then this wouldn't feel like spam...but oh well :laugh4:

You deserve them! :beam:

Yep, are correct sir. Thats what happens when horse archers try to assualt my city. Ive never seen it single file though. Thought it was cool.

I have actually seen this happen all the time. All cavalry units usually do the line when they enter a gate, or at least in my battles. Especially if that gate is small, such as that of a wooden wall.

Just throwing it out there before I go on vacation :D

Battle for Mesopotamia
https://i41.tinypic.com/2rhl1jk.jpg

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

This battle decided the fate of the whole of Mesopotamia. I had marched west over the past decade (or more..?) with three stacks, and finally, they fought their way. This battle was a full stack led by my greatest general, Agathokles Baktrios against a full stack led by the 10-star (also many really good traits) Seleukid faction leader. Agathokles's traits are ridiculously awesome though. He took so many cities in a row, there's four traits after another. He's 58 now so he's going to lead one last great campaign to Damascus as a final F U to the Seleukids before dying..or that's the plan. Blue looks good covering half the map. :D

Is there a trait after 'Seen the elephant'?

I see very few screenshots for this month... pretty sure it has something to do with the first screenshot almost certainly going to win the contest.

I know that is why I did not put one :laugh4:

I'll post this for the hell of takin part...dunno what to call it, but just for the voting:

Battle Line Clash

https://i301.photobucket.com/albums/...0-22-48-13.jpg

Very nice pic, bean :2thumbsup:
(PS: eat my SOT-Post :laugh4: )

@ Ezekiel: Thanks, glad you enjoy the picture :yes:

Oh you young whippersnapper you!

How d'ya know I'm younger than you (which probably is true) :laugh4: :laugh4:

You're not younger than me...but I can't very well say 'You young but older than me wippersnapper' can I?

Of course you can, stripling :laugh4:

:shame: I am ashamed...

I guess I'll put in this one again.
