November Screenshot Competition

[chenkai11]

The imperial cohort unit looks like vampires to me. Is it just me?

They do seem a little, out of place with the rest of the EB units. I liked the old legionaries from before 1.0 better. But these new ones aren't too bad.

[Tanit]

I don't think I can actually participate, but here is an image I've wanted to crop and post for a long time.

Look to the Horizon

Sacred Band Charge

[Puupertti Ruma]

Wow, really great pictures again! Good photoshopping image editing also, not too much on any of the pictures in my opinion. SwissBarbar's addition of the original unedited version is great also!

It actually got me thinking that maybe it should be made a rule that you can edit a pic as much as you like, but you have to include the unedited pic in spoiler tags. And when the candidates for the poll are selected, the unedited versions of all the selected pictures get to the EB screenshots page on the web site. This would in my opinion give a really good "carrot" to take part in the screenshot competition, and also it would quickly fill the website's screenshot page with great quality pictures of actual gameplay!

What do you guys think?

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

What do you guys think?

I think photoshopping should not be allowed for the screenshot competition.

[ludwag]

Thanks, ludwag. Looks like we are playing the same faction right now.

yes that's a good idea. have both the edited and original version, while the original is in spoiler tags.

[SwissBarbar]

yes, thats a good idea. i did that too

[penguinking]

Might as well submit this.

The Glory of Hayasdan

[We shall fwee...Wodewick]

Might as well submit this.

The Glory of Hayasdan

Love it, the trampled soldier looks like the ornamental mermaids some medieval ships would have on the bow.

[Dutchhoplite]

I like it :)

[ludwag]

Thanks, ludwag. Looks like we are playing the same faction right now.

yeah. but I dont get to fight with the romans. They was eliminated right before I was going to give them italy back from the Epeiros :(

[Celtic_Punk]

Last of the Makedons

I personally like the dying Makedonian standard bearer on the left.


Sorry for no editing, im not very good at such things. I dont even know how to do any of that crap anyway

[johnhughthom]

If you download GIMP (free) it's pretty simple to crop out your UI and such. The only real problem with your shot is the info box over your general, I always forgot about them when doing my AAR. I like the dying standard bearer too, if you got rid of the UI, the info box and the KH banners at the top it would be a good pic.

[Grriffon]

So, a totally noob question: Where can I find my EB screenshots?

Also, the first picture submitted is my favorite so far.

[johnhughthom]

There will be folder created in your RTW folder called TGAs when you get your first shot using the Print Screen button. Just remember to turn off Anti-Aliasing.

If you use Paint, hit Ctrl+E, than Tab to jump in the right blank, and there change the value to 585. Only if you use 1024 x 768 resolution though. Pointing the cursor at the supposed cut will reveal the appropiate value if not.

[Aemilius Paulus]

Just remember to turn off Anti-Aliasing.

Wait, why?

[Celtic_Punk]

black screenshots

[Aemilius Paulus]

black screenshots

So that's why I get only black screenshots whenever I try to convert the TGA to JPEG?!?



I have more than five hundred screenshots taken and all for nothing? Is there any way to fix this? What an idiot I am!

[Tellos Athenaios]

I have AA turned on and receive perfectly OK screenshots. You may want to give a possible fix I posted in the Thechnical Support fora a try, if that doesn't fix it you may want to combine it with running RTW/EB in windowed mode.

[ludwag]

I just press print screen. Then I open paint and press ctrl+V. There I crop the pictures and stuff. I also have a quick launch icon for paint. I love pain.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

It's a pic from my AAR.

"King Hamalcar takes Vellika back!"

[Aemilius Paulus]

So.... is there no one left who still thinks edited screenshots are better? Are we still allowed to post edited submissions?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I think that edited are better. But the original one should be kept in spoilers.

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

Right now, editted screenshots are allowed. Next month, the rules may be different. Since I've been left in charge of screenshots, I guess, in the end, it is my decision...

Sabean Battle Lines

[johnhughthom]

Great shot Wonderland, looks like there are far more men there than the RTW engine allows.
