August Screenshot Competition

[Senshi]

Thaatu has a great caption. One could almost mistake the screenshot for some kind of RPG Third-Person-game where one plays the uber shiny general who is about to slaughter all the troops in front of him, seeing the target of his quest on the giant mountains up ahead.

Okay, I go a bit far there

And I don't know if you retouched the picture, but the "Blinking-in-the-sun"-Effect on spear tips and armor looks really good

[muha]

This is a very old one of mine, think I took it back in 0.8.

I call it;

The Battle of Love




EDIT: Tried to make the picture full size on the forum.

[Hooahguy]

A winrar is you!

Sorry about geekspeak: winrar there. :p

[Megas Pyrrhos]

Ok here's mine. No hope of competing but winning isn't why I post em: "Battle of Isthmus of Korinth, 229 B.C."



From my Pontic campaign, Epeiros had taken advantage of Makedonia's losses to me in the Peloponnese, and had taken over central and northern Greece. Epeiros took Athens away from me, and attempted to capitalize on my disorganized state of things by sending an army to Korinth. This army of mine was the smaller sized of the two armies that fought at the Isthmus of Korinth, there to block and stop Epeiros' advance. Being backed up against the sea, my locally-raised Hellene phalangites stopped the marauding Epeirote army, though with 42% casualties taken.

[Hooahguy]

i like that ^^^ one! looks nive and has the sense of frantic combat in it!

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

I call it "The good General"

[paullus]

sweet.

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

It can't take part in the competition anyway cause I had to erase a horse-leg.

[Senshi]

You can!?!

-Altering the pictures are ok, but don't go overboard

I assume "overboard" means using heavy Photoshop filters like "Mosaic" or such things which usually cripple every picture.

[pirates_say_arrgg]

Um.. Here is mine?

Hannibal's Veterans

[Tollheit]

The chase

[The Celtic Viking]

Well, since my picture seems to have disappeared, here's a new one:



I call it "Porridge", and it's from... no, I won't say it. I'll let that be a secret.

[DeathEmperor]

I'm loving yours Celtic Viking especially since the guy in the backround looks like he's being tossed around in a moshpit

[Rilder]

I like that hoplite just below the Roman Standard Bearer doing a matrix style spear dodge.

[Nelduin]

The betters for me are the Megas Pyrrhos' one and muha's one.

[Maion Maroneios]

Here's mine, it's from a custom battle against the Romans (I'm Makedonia). I snapped this shot and I noticed something funnt there, just wanted to share it with the rest;

Maybe turning your back against sarissa's isn't a good idea...

Poor guy, I guess he'll have a hard time sitting after that

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

Now that you mention it, there was something to the Romans in that battle. I have another picture from that battle where a Pedites Extrordinarii dodges a spear by ducking forwards in his charge - almost like he's trying to do a Zidane on the hoplite.

[schlappi]

Every single one of these pictures is very nice in itself, i would not like to weigh one against the other. Well done, folks.

[Intranetusa]

I posted this a while back on wiki, but:



Deep Fried Phalangites

[Ibrahim]

deep fried, eh? I'd personally call it "kentucky fried phalangites". its only the natural result of deep frying evolution on chicken quisine, why not phalangites?

[paullus]

some good pics guys. Intranetusa...where is that Einstein quotation from? Googling it only brings up your posts.

[Sarcasm]

It's two quotes man. Try splitting that in two.

[Maion Maroneios]

Ahhhh, the mustard-colored Argyraspides of the Arche Seleukeia... Brings back VERY good memories (of my Pezhetairoi-@$$ being kicked, that is :P)

[Theodotos I]

I entitle this picture "Death at Sunset: The Straits of Hormuz". It's from my 1.0 Pahlava campaign.

[Uranos]

@ Megas Pyrrhos
Very nice pic
I noticed ships - have you added them in PS or they were originally there?

[Senshi]

Ships are visible in RTW if you have ships near the battle zone on the campaign map. That's a stock feature.

E.g. if you land your troops and have a battle directly at shore, you see a group of ships in the background (it's a pity they can't give offshore artillery support, that would be cool , having some catapults or ballistae bombarding the battlefield )

[Megas Pyrrhos]

@ Megas Pyrrhos
Very nice pic

Originally there. I had them stationed there in case my army got wasted and had to retreat to the ships(so I could transport them quicker) to where I might need them. Turns out, didn't need the ships after all.

EDIT: Though, with the way I had my troops situated, they either had to win or they'd be meeting the ferry-man.

[paullus]

Sarcasm, I'm not an idiot. It doesn't matter if you split it in two. The first part is famous, the second, I could only find on the boards.

[Martelus Flavius]

I there!!!

So here I go with a screenie. Take it as OUT of competition! (It's not original 1.1 EB anymore, massively cropped.) So just for enjoyment!

Let's give him the following name : "the party". (What?! This is not original?! Oooh! )



Kind regards

Martel
