I'm sorry, I didn't find the the search before I registered and didn't realize that it only appears afterwards. I'm really sorry.

Hi Tolg, welcome!

The black screenshot problem is quite common. In some cases it can be fixed by turning off anti-aliasing thought not in all. Other people just use some third party program like Fraps to take their screenshots and that works well for most (not me though, for some reason I get a ton of jagged edges when using Fraps for R:TW, and so I really have no way to take screenshots

).

Hope this helps.

No need to excuse. I was just suggesting.

I know that's a common problem, which I fortunately don't have, so I don't know the solution to it by heart either. But I know there are lots of threads about it floating around. And I was kinda too lazy to look for them myself.

Thanks, changing the anti-aliasing didn't work for me either, luckily fraps did.

It's just that I consider it common sense to always do a forum search before I ask a question yet I didn't which is why I apologized.

Back on topic:

Sadly all my previous screenshots are lost but anyway:

Pahlava campaign M/M 193BC

The Lusotanna actually took almost all of Italy including Rome itself while at the same time leading successful wars against the Aedui and numerous rebellious cities (Gader, Emporion, Masallia) and only recently lost Segesta and Bononia.

The Ptolemaioi are slowly but surely losing ground against my royal army after Ptolemais Theron revolted to them (and those damn rebels annihilated my general and his mercenary army when he tried to take it back - 2 gold chevron gold weapons/armour apeleutheroi are scary).

The KH made a comeback after having lost all his settlements on the Greek mainland to Macedonia 30-40 years ago, when they took Sparta back (with a 3 Akontistai 1 Hoplitai Haploi stack that hidden itself in the woods of the Peloponnese during the Macedonian conquest) and are by now the most powerful Greek/Hellenic faction.

The Aedui are busy defending against the Lusotanna.

The Arverni are using Rome's weakness to take back lost territories.

And so are the Sweboz though they have a much more comfortable position than the Arverni.

The Romans themselves are losing. Full stop. They have war on all borders and their country has been torn to piecemeal. I had high hopes for them when they were at the heights of their power owning half of Gaul, Illyria and 2/3 of Sicily but what we see now is an early version of the invasion of the barbarians.

Quarthdast has nice, secure borders and doesn't appear to be content with them.

Epeiros is at war with both Rome and Macedonia but but neither looses nor gains territory in either of those wars.

The Getai are trying to invade Germany but don't stand a chance against the local Eleutheroi.

Sabata is my ally and doing nothing at all.

Seleuceia and the Sauromatae are both my protectorates.

And the Casse haven't even moved their armies in the last 100 years. Rumours are that they are trying to imitate the roman senators during Brennus' attack on Rome.

Please note that I didn't support the Lusotanna at all. On the contrary, I tended to support the Romans with the additional tributes from my protectorates.

Apart from your huge empire, the Sweboz catch my eye. They invaded Italy, cool!
