Also notice their spaghettification, probably caused by the presence of a black hole on the edge of the rock.

a black hole that's under a rock, on planet Earth?

welcome to the mindf***!!

[Subotan]

Woah, they look like they're approaching the speed of light. Is that red shift on the horizon?

(LOL @ The spaghettification joke btw)

Yes. The real reason for the disappearance of the Seleucid Empire was the Large Hadron Collider they built. The resultant black holes sucked up most of their army.

Ludens.

you are exactly right.

@mach: your army suddenly turned into a half-naked woman. is that another Seleucid secret project?


but yes, if fraps images don't worke the first time, change into a jpg or bmp. maybe it was a format problem, as I had that too.

I'm going to try and close this up and get the poll started soon. So, if anyone wants to post a last minute picture, you have a day or so left. (Unless I get delayed like I usually do.)

[Βελισάριος]

Wait for me! (By Zalmoxis, I'm always late for these things!)
And this will be my very first entry (how excited am I!)

"Strategous, lead us to glory!"


Winter, 268 BCE
In this first year of the 128th Olympiad, 508 years after the First Olympiad war wages on in the Hellenic lands. The Koinon Hellenoi have been obliterated. Only last summer, brave Mekdonian troops lay siege once more upon the city of Rhodos, the last standing Polis of the Koinon. This time, Antigonos Argeades achieved what his ancestors could not, and the great Kolossos- this immense shame to Makedonian pride- is now in our hands. Justice is served.

After his campaign against the Greek Polei, Antigonos returns home to Pella but there is yet no hope for peace. The wretched Epeiros and their king Pyrrhos are still a threat and have even laid siege to the Makedonian capital itself. The great Basileus of Makedon with his battle-hardened troops push the Epeirotes back to their homeland and finally, with the conquest of Ambrakia, the tides have turned. Pyrrhos retreats to Epidamnon in hopes of rebuilding an army, but Antigonos, Basileus Makedonon, conqueror of the Greeks is in pursuit.

In this winter of Greek discontent, the fate of the Hellenic world hangs in the balance. Antigonos' brave and loyal men are eager in spite of the pressure and they cheer on: "Strategous, lead us to glory!"

Viva le revolution!!!

on the edge

The poor kataphraktoi were becoming like nice armoured spaghetti because the secret Seleucid agency created a black hole on the top of that mountain. This caused also the collapse of the empire, as history books teach.

Question.

Should I have Frabs running in order to do screenshots? The Normal procedure does not work, but I thought Frabs was only for videos :-s.

For example, this is the screenshot of my Roman veterans facing the Macedon charge for an AAR.

And this is the one for Lucius Conelius Scipio charging downhill "Medieval Knight"-style into Akontesterai

See what I mean?

[Olaf Blackeyes]

Funny yet bannable

[Macilrille]

Im am serious, not joking, I cannot get the screenshots. And she is clothed, sort of.

[Olaf Blackeyes]

If Fraps aint working for you then youre in trouble.

[Connacht]

For doing screenshots I simply press the button on the right edge of the keyboard for taking screenshots, then I convert the .tga file into a .jpg or .png one (I use VirtualDub for this, even if it is thought for videos, but I think that Paint Shop Pro might work as well) and upload it on Imageshack or other web spaces.

[Macilrille]

Well, you can see above what I get when I do that...

If you use the Print Screen key you may need to turn anti-aliasing off.
