    -Please keep the demensions to a size that fits in the forum screen (maximum of 1024ish)
    -Must obey forum rules

    Suggestions
    -Turn off banners
    -Turn off arrows and/or deselect your units
    -Make sure the cursor, "Paused", and map border aren't showing
    -Crop out the UI (though too much cropping may get your pic disqualified)

    I thought this was a screenshot competition, not demotivators. Isn't that a different thread?

    Umm not meant as a dem, it has no black side with title and text and as image editing is allowed I thougth this was good.

    Ill move it to the Demotivators if this isnt the right place.

    Just throwing my two cents, but I think that as the screenshot competitions are more "serious" (In the loosest sense of the word) than the demotivator thread, we should go for awe-inspiring artistic vision and jaw-dropping aesthetics, rather than comedic dialogue.

    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    Ouch! That must have hurt! Just kidding! I didn't realize editing was allowed. IIRC the 'traditional' (?) competitions had no cursor or UI, just a raw image of the battle scene in question.

    Interesting that Thrakaioi are involved in that battle above. You playing as Romans I assume?

    Ugh those Elite Liby-Phonecians are nasty though. I remember a silver chevroned unit of them withstood 4 Polybian Hastati and 3 Polybian Principes on a bridge battle when I was playing as Rome. Gave me a bad impression of Polybian units as it was the first time I used them and figured that brute force would win me the day. Same trap some other Roman commanders fell into isn't it?

    Yep, I'm played SPQR, and you can really see Thrakaioi there. I thought they can deal with all that Carthage elites. Thrakaioi didn't helped a lot, though they show their best. I lost that battle. Sad but true.

    Vartan, yes, but Hoplites do fight in a greek style Phalanx-Formation, while the "Phalangitai" you speak of fight in a makedonian style Phalanx-Formation, which is kind of an "update" of the older greek style Phalanx.

    Here's my entry.



    It's called "On the Banks of the Euphrates" and yes, it took place on the banks of the Euphrates. Seleukid elites try to storm the river bank that's held by the brave Makedonian Argyraspides. The ground is as slippy as at Granikos, therefore the foot-tankoi are easily held back by the Makedones. The spear in the center belongs to a Seleukid that's desperately trying to get back on his feet again.

    Don't make me laugh too hard my friend, it hurts! Haha. But yes, you are right. In any case, as I speak mainly in English I'll just call them phalanxes as there isn't any other word we have. Thanks for the already-ubiquitous Greek word phalangitai

    By the way, I vote for the fight on the banks of the Euphrates. Beautiful.
