Screenshots

[Megas Pyrrhos]

I'd suggest downloading FRAPS instead, personally. Works with Vista as well as XP, and its easy and simple to use and to tell it where you want the screenshots to go. I think www.download.com might have it, not sure though.

so there isn't a built-in screenshot device in TW/EB?

(1) hit "print screen" on oyur keyboard,

(2) quit EB (or use "alt+tab" if you run EB with the -ne shortcut),

(3) open Paint or any other grafics programm,

(4) select "paste"

(5) done

Thanks :D

Seems rather odd that that means you can only take one screenshot per game (I mean, having to quit), but since I don't particularly care for the usual screenies and only want to take a pic of my empires, when they're "complete" (as large and impressive as I want them) and of whatever hilarious graphical mistakes the game sometimes make, I'll do just fine

Add -ne to the shortcut you start EB with and you can switch between EB and other windows in Windows-mode (make sure you have something to switch to running before you start EB).

Believe me, that's too technical for me. Besides my computer is too slow for that to be enjoyable - having other programs running besides EB prolly won't help either. But don't worry, I don't need plenty of screenshots, so you've solved my problem :)

Hmmmm. Rome has a built-in screenshot device, which takes screenshots when hitting print and puts them into a folder called TGAs, located in the Rome - Total War folder. At least my RTW does...
