Thracian ambush

There was no screenshot competition in September, so I'm expecting you to have some great ones since you had two months to get them.

Rules:
-One submission per person per month
-Must be from EB-
-Slight picture editting allowed
-Cropping only to remove UI (any tiny pictures won't be added to the poll)-Does that include the "Pause" button cropping?
-Please keep the dimensions to a size that fits in the forum screen-If it's too big can I just use spoils?
-Must obey forum rules-What if there is a naked unit in the picture?

Questions added.

Questions added.

- Cutting the pause button out is ok, and some cropping is ok. Just no "wallet-sized" photos.
- I would prefer that it is reduced in scale so that it can be shown in the poll thread. Not required really, its just easier.
- Naked pictures are not allowed on the forum so please no naked units in the poll.

[Socy]

Lol Ludwag! That picture made my day ;)

Though... You missed blacking out some of the spearmens noble parts.. That makes you a forum-criminal?

TW that was awesome

Yeah, I was thinking of entering the competition, but once I saw your screenshot, TWFanatic, I decided it would be pointless.

[ludwag]

TW, very nice. what photoshop filers did you use? I am very intrested becouse i like screenshots.

[TWFanatic]

Using GIMP, I lightly applied softglow to add the bloom effect and remove jagged edges then darkened the picture with lighting effects. I followed this with a slight desaturation. Not much really.

[penguinking]

TWFanatic and ludwag are tied for best picture, I think.

but thanks. it is really good, becouse when you have the first look on it, it looks very good, and it looks very real.

Lots of good stuff here, TWFanatic's is my favorite as well- it just became my desktop background!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

At the Edge of the World!

[Maion Maroneios]

I call this one:

The Loyal Makedonian


Maion

P.S.: This is a picture from my ongoing AAR, by the way :-P

[TWFanatic]

Excellent Maion! You are sure to get a few more readers for your AAR. Btw, did you use the battle cam there?

As a side note, I do think it would look even better if it was cropped less.

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Mount Sinai 225BC

[Dutchhoplite]

Great one :)

Thank you TWFanatic, though I think mine can't be compared to yours for any reason!

I actually didn't edit the picture at all, and yes I used movie cam (thus the greater zooming).

[We shall fwee...Wodewick]

I think yours is brilliant Maion, I made it my background! I think it shows a real one on one picture that is amazing to capture so brilliantly. I just wish it was a film so I could see the guy running at him lose a limb from the strike his storing in that arm!

The Last stand

I fiddled with curves and some blur, hope it isn't to much for the rules :/

This is from customgame i played as the Sweboz. The Legionaries faltered everywhere but on that hill, holding out to the last man. my germans pushed them down at least two times, but they alway fought themselves up again. Pretty epic actually, I saved the replay ;P

[bobbin]

Wooo! look! Epikletoi with swords!

[Goth47]

Impressive, but there are no forts with walls in EB, at least I never saw one. Please tell me where you fought that battle.

What exactly do you mean by that? If you're talking about the earthen rampant, that's just something the Romani get with their fort and all forts have the normal wooden palisades.
