Get fraps.

Or go old-school with: Print Screen, alt+tab, win+R, type "mspaint", ctrl+V, ctrl+S.

Then imageshack.us or whatever.

Printscreeen button (right of f12)

Screenshots are put in your Creative Assembly -> Europa Barbarorum/RTW -> TGAS

They are .tga so you need Ifranview or paint.net to open them.

Fraps doesn't work for me and Alt-tabbing is too much a pain in the heat of battle so I have to do it the Original way. By just spamming print-screen :P

I recommend the oldscool way, like delra said. It's slower but you can copy your pics into paint and save them with a proper name, like 1KoinonHellenonVsMakedonia215BC, so you find them at once if you look for certain pics. (especially important if you write an AAR and have several hundred pictures to manage ^^)

Has anyone mentioned Fraps? Free, printscreen service. Works very well with all games; you can even designate the screenshots to immediately appear in a screenshot folder wherever you wish that to be located.

FYI if you play RTW by using "Run as" fraps won't work.

Just pressing the "print-Screen" button saves images fine anyways, no need for a 3rd party program. (except to convert them into JPG)
