I know that screenshots without people and some kind of editing are not going to win the competition.
Besides, I'm not intrested in competition.
Just wanted to share with you.
Pure and and simple:

Lovely. :2thumbsup:
I have taken some of those (landscape screenshot) and used them as backgrounds.

Thanks. :yes: I love taking nice landscape sshots too. Great job with the sky and all EB graphic artists! :2thumbsup:

Some of them were taken during or before battles yet some of them exclusively, using the "View Settlement on the Battle Map" function. ~:)

nice pics, mates.
And We HAVE TO COMPETE!!:laugh4:

My generals are kind of sentimental chaps. This one was taken immediately after infamous Maryab massacre of dune dwellers 235BC
competitions are cool they bring up some pretty sick and cool screenshots BUT u can't let it get to your head and take away your enjoyment of the game and screens that YOU think are cool.
I sometimes post in the pics forum, and sometimes I don't. Since 1.0 came out I haven't posted a pic because having fraps running will just slow down my already slow game.
A couple of mine:
http://img01.picoodle.com/img/img01/...gm_950905f.jpg
http://img28.picoodle.com/img/img28/...sm_746714a.jpg
TBH, I'm not really sure I can see the point of competitions, either. Hence I don't ussualy enter.
To be honest, I don't expect to win. I just do it to offer some choice. And no, we don't HAVE TO compete. There's much too few screenshots around here anyway.
I'll be back. Hopefully with some shots.
You landscape lovers will love what we have in store... :wink:
Just need to use this oppurtunity to congratulate Goth. He's done an absolutely marvelous job on the skies and lighting files.
I wouldn't even vote for a screenshot that has been enhanced, i really think that in future polls there needs to be strict rules that screenshots must be purely from EB. Different graphics settings don't mean a thing, it's not the graphics that make a screenshot awesome, it's what is going on in the actual screenshot.

2Mouzafphaerre: don't get provoked, don't show them you're interested, don't ask them questions, don't post treads "how soon?", don't get angry or post whipping smilies either
Don't you see, that's what they want you to do, they actually want you to suffer cause that's what they like !
Instead be neutral, pay no attention and show no interest in their posts.
Paying no attention to their teasing is the one and only way to force them release next release
:clown:
Having EB on your computer running is just like travelling all over the world....:beam: :clown:
And yes, the EBesque skies and landscapes are gorgeous...so many of my soldiers got slain while I was absent, looking at the skies and reciting Homer....
...Ups, there go my horsey archers....but look at the skies....
For real: this is one aspect of EB which gives a lot of atmosphere to the battles!
:2thumbsup: Great job!

The beauty of the landscape increased greatly in 1.0. I only think that the shadow side of units is a bit too dark. At least I can't remember that it is so dark in reality, but I might be wrong.

Brilliant pics, Nixalsverdrus.
nice photos!
Great pics all!
And a great idea to start a screenshot posting thread!
Here are two of my pics. Both of my Sauromatae campaign.
Sorry for the photo-shopping.

That's my opinion too. Sandy or snowy ground reflects light, even on shadows. Not sure about grass... Haven't seen it for a while, but I don't recall such strong shadows. Especially the difference between unit shadows and object shadows is distracting.Quote:

Haven't seen grass for a while?
Are you completly stuck to your EB screen, or is it just too snowy in Finland?:laugh4:
Who his interested in making a greeting Eb postcards Thread?

Animation problem? You mean you've never heard of the famous Carthaginian find in Tunisia, with two halves of a sword stuck to the sides of a helmet, which was apparently a popular Barcid party trick referenced by Polybios? All historically accurate I assure you.
Ah well that explains it. The Barcas were cunning bastards...
Forgive me for ever doubting EB.:bow:
@TWFanatic:
In the settlement details menu, on the lower left-hand corner is a button called "view settlement on battle map". Make a save prior for I've heard that it occasionally CTDs when doing so. (Mine never though)
Oh, and your Celtic pic is great!
@all:
Glad to hear you like them.:yes:
"The real story of Troy"
https://img88.imageshack.us/img88/54...illtextml3.png
(you can actually see dear patroklvs BTW. He's above "T")
"500 things we learned from 'The Real Story of Troy'"
#1 The Trojans carry the Ptolemaioi banner to war. Or it's Mycenaeans.
Sorry, couldn't resist :smash:
Of course it's Mycenaeans :smash: :smash: :smash:
the second thing a curious one could learn from 'The Real Story of Troy' is that MiniMe instead of "I've come" for some reasons typed "I'm come" and is not going to correct it, cause he's lazy
#3 Achilles refers to his beloved as Patroklvs deviating towards Roman nomenclature :grin:
That is actualy correct, AFAIK, ableit rather old fashioned.Quote:

I had a screen shot of a battle which took place just outside of the Hot Gates, but I seem to have misplaced it. Perhaps it has been recycled...:skull:
Count! 6 naked guys and only a half of penis. They are shy or just do not want to make problems with public nudity.Quote:

That's a preview of sorts if you want of some geography modding me and LordBula worked on.Quote:

Tellos Athenaios, if i may use you picture, in the spirit of the holidays?......
https://i199.photobucket.com/albums/...aygeetings.jpg
some snow would be nice, but thats global warming for you!
All hail, indeed. I'm really excited about the prospects of more interesting geography, especially near mountains. Fighting in the mountains in RTW has none of the feeling of actual mountain combat. Hopefully, you've all remedied that with cliffs, rocks, etc...Quote:

How much work did that involve?
I have a nasty susipsion that it took a hell of a long time. It just looks ike that somehow...
At first I tried editing the .db file with a hex editor and that was a nightmare but thankfully LordBula made a great tool that makes it a lot easier to edit the file using Excel.Quote:

hold on, so in EB 1.1 were going to be able to tour the landscape as we tour cities?:2thumbsup:Quote:

ps- we really should start putting out EB postcards- thatll be cool!
No you don't tour the terrain like cities it's just that the landscapes you fight in will look better.Quote:

Postcards are not a bad idea...
oh, i just never really fought in heavily forested areas- i avoided them in my romani campaign
hm..... how about E-Cards?
Will that map be available in custom battles? It just looks like fun to play as all factions in but with my conquering (lack of) speed I'll never reach it as some factions, e.g. Casse or Lusotannan, and it looks great for Lusotannan ambush tactics.
It wasn't as much a forest as the slope of a mountain. And my troops stood on top of it - the AI was attacking. Mind you the AI decided there was only so much crap it could take so it retreated from the battle on its own account (when they were exhausted and had climbed not even halfway yet).Quote:

please say you charged down the slope! :charge:Quote:

***the enemy charges uphill at a unit which has positioned itself to look helpless, just beyond a large hill. just as they pass it, and almost exhausted from charging up the hill, the gallant cataphracts charge and wipe them all out!***
:grin:
but seriously, it would be a cool map to play on.....
i would like to see a desert landscape where there are many sand dunes and if there is a sandstorm, the dunes would blow over and over a unit, killing them. :beam:

Having seen these; is it possible to turn off the radar in minimal UI? I prefer the standard UI and stand the widescreenish cropping because of that. ~:handball:
.
Yes, it is possible to turn on/off all the subscreens in minimal UI using F5-F8 keys, if I remember correctly. F1 will bring on a complete list of all keyboard commands which are REALLY necessary while on minimal UI. :yes:Quote:

Um, whats so cool about it?

Antigonos Gonatas ascended to the throne of the Makedonoi among hardships not every man can dare to tackle. Pyrrhos, the Molossos king of Epeiros invaded the homeland herself, claiming inheritence from Megas Alexandros by blood line; grizzled old Khremonides was plotting a union against Makedonia between Athenai, Sparte and Rhodos; Keltoi had Dardanoia and most of Thraikia in their hands and the Getai were in no friendly terms either. The only support, in terms of diplomacy and some trade was from Seleukeia, who were busy in their struggle with the incestous Ptolemaioi, who in turn were in support of the plot the Hellenes were brewing.
The king had to act immediately and had no tolerance for faults. So, he decided the strike the disunited first, before they become a more perilous threat, and attacked Athenai.
https://img509.imageshack.us/img509/...tandpr9.th.jpg
Khremonides, the very author of the discontent, fell with the bullet of a blessed slinger.
But Pyrrhos was a more serious foe to be reckoned with. He captured Pella! The king's elder son Alkyoneus defended bravely till his last drop of blood. The wretched barbaros had his Keltoi sack the ancestral tombs.
https://img297.imageshack.us/img297/...argeqb4.th.jpg
Pyrrhos, unheeding the sarissai pointed towards him.
After years of labour and unaccoutable amount of sweat and blood, it was time to avenge. Not only Pyrrhos himself but his whole family should pay for his insolence.

Antigonos sends Helenos to Hades conquering Epidamnos.
With Athenai, Sparte and Rhodos subdued, and the Molossoi expelled to Kalabria, it was time to unite the realms of Alexandros, and those that should have been his.

Scenery from Krete.
King Demetrios, son of Antigonos Gonatas decided to bring an end to the Molossoi oppression in Megale Hallas. First step was liberating Taras, ruled mercilessly by a Syrakousios mercenary called Ageas, in the name of the Molossos king.
