Baaah, no editing allowed this time again?

[Mediolanicus]

Baaah, no editing allowed this time again?

Unfair disadvantage for those without Photoshop(ping skills).

Although a seperate competition for edited pictures only probably wouldn't be a problem if there are enough enthousiasts. As long as people don't stop competing here because of that...


Hmm, I still have to take a good enough screeny to come even close to the masks...

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

@ centurio: Holy god that is incredible!!

which side are you: Baktria or maks?

We are both the Maks in this shot. I played the Royalist part (Mak general), whereas a Baktrian general I teleported to Saba (where that battle took place) played the part of Zaikedenthes, an important member of the ruthless Aphetaios family. I recreated his army for Baktria with console command and then attacked it with a loyal family member. It is an incredible experience to fight you own army and get obliterated! It's great to see that you probably not only were so successful with that particular army because the AI is stupid, but also because this army is just incredibly mighty, so that even the AI manages to win with it.

Also yes centurio that RULES

[Tarkus]

Wow...not to make judgments too early here, but...
We're off to a rousing start!!! Both great screens but Centurio, in particular...that's an amazing shot!

Gonna be another tough one this month...

[SwissBarbar]

2 vs 2 in the Steppes





No big struggle from me for once ^^

[Megas Pyrrhos]

Here's mine: I call it "Two Pokes and a Miss"



Here's a little screenie of what my campaign map looks like at the moment:

[IMG][img=https://img3.imageshack.us/img3/7396/epeiros225bcfa2.th.jpg][/IMG]

Klaudios' son, Sokleion, was ambushed near the Epeirote-Getic border with his bodyguard of what I've dubbed in-game as "Hysteroi Hoplitai", armed in the Romani fashion with kopis' and a pair of ap javelins.

Two getic generals tried to kill the heir to the throne, but failed.

Final Edit: May take a a little time for my pic to load.

[Antinous]

Nice!!! Your leader is a lucky man.

[Megas Pyrrhos]

The soldier to his right side.......was not. He got wasted after another poking of the spearpoint later after the screenie.

[Antinous]

Well the gods don't favor everyone.

Suggestions

-No Elephants

No elephants? Hehe, is that the instant ticket to success now? What an unusual rule. But yes, screenshots with elephants do tend to win quite a often.

[Βελισάριος]

O, how are the mighty fallen

[Antinous]

Awesome shot man!!

[Subedei]

@ Burebista: Great shot....lokks a bit like the General was "crowd surfing" in a very unhealthy manner! Centurio´s pic is also very good!

[Mediolanicus]

I'm going minimalistic this time, just like SwissBarbar.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Chiswick! Fresh Horses!

And a balloon for the first to notice a little something.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Doomed..


Roman General - "You will be destroyed! I will kill you all!"
Enemy General - "Hmm... You and what army?"
Roman General - "Me and this Ar... Oh S***! I'm doomed!"

[SwissBarbar]

bwahaha. Me and this Ar.... *turns around* ..ah.... well... ehm....oh, is that my wife calling for me? I have to go, have a nice weekend, ciao guys....

[Silence Hunter]

It seems that this competition are going to be as tough as the previous one, if not tougher. Awesome screens so far.

[Βελισάριος]

@ Burebista: Great shot....lokks a bit like the General was "crowd surfing" in a very unhealthy manner! Centurio´s pic is also very good!

Cheers!
Heheh. Note to self: when crowd has spears or other pointy bojects, do not plunge.
And thanks Anitnous.

Great shots everyone!
Let the fierce competition begin.

A cavalry unit on the left side, under the trees?

[Ardri]

Winter Battle:


The battle was my 2400 Romani troops vs nearly 4000 Aedui.

[Antinous]

I would not want to be in those roman tunics!! Way to cold Nice picture though.

[Ardri]

Nothing says good time like sandals in the snow!

[Ibrahim]

O, how are the mighty fallen

WOE!
