The Europa Barbarorum Christmas Screenshot Competition!

[Brennus]

Yes folks its that time of the year when Brennus posts another of his rather pointless yet fun threads.

I was going to wait until we were a month away from Christmas but as of tomorrow I will be travelling in the land of the Brigantes and Caledonians with a belly full of beer visiting tribal members and client rulers. Thus I will not be able to post this thread on the 25th, plus this thread will need time for voting (5 days worth of voting should be sufficient shouldn't it?).

If you would like to take part please post your best pic below (only one shot per contestant).

I have decided to make the following rules:

1. No editing pictures, as usual an acceptable degree of cropping is allowed.
2. As its nearly Christmas try and add some festivity to your screens.... all I can think is if your providing a European screenshot let it be winter. If you have any better suggestions please let me know.
3. Unlike earlier screenshot competitions elephants are allowed, night battles are not.

Have fun!

If you can pull that off I will give you an honorary prize.

Not that hard really, just have to change the .cas file of the sweboz general to be a Santa Claus Model and do some texturing, and presto!

I resent this, it's summer here for Christmas time! Luckily you wrote European...and the game is based on Europe...hence Europa. Touché Brennus.

lol, thank you. Mr Vasilios I hope you will be taking part, if your Metallica pictures are anything to go by you have an eye for good photos.

[stratigos vasilios]

I will try and snap a good photo after this week, last exams for the year coming up!

That's just wierd, and just wrong You can see that, right? Isn't the whole point of Christmans Santa running around in sleighs with raindeers and stuff? I really feel for you guys down there :D

I think down there Santa substitutes the reindeer for a Ute.

LOL. Wait, your Santa doesn't drive around in a ute or wear thongs, footy shorts and a wife beater*?

*translation: flip flops, short shorts and a singlet.

change the Chidainh Horse into deer model (somewhat present in Vanilla), change the riders into Black piets (UIRODUSIOUS!!! but censored or it will be 17++ XXXMas :P) and they ride down an army of Santa

I think that was his point.

Well why not post one of your own, get the ball rolling etc.

I could never post one of my own. It would ruin my myth.

lol.

Last time a screenshot poll was posted I remember there was a flood of entries, this is just plain embarrassing.

[Fluvius Camillus]

I had elephants in the snow, but I guess that's a no.

[Tanit]

Actually, by the rules in post 1, it is allowed.

[Maeran]

Allowed, yes. But incredibly unkind on pachyderms used to subtropical heat. What kind of monster would use African animals as alpine mountaineering equipment?

Hannibal Barca

~Jirisys (You did mean that on purpose did you?)

[Brennus]

Apparently the Belgae and Britons also used elephants against the Romani, however Roman propogandists refused to record the countless victories achieved by these northern "barbarians", lol.

Come on everyone, I couldn't give a flying fart if your shots are festive themed, lets just see your best efforts!

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

I don't play without banners or with minimal UI so I'm always hesitant to post images in screenshot competitions but it looks like someone needs to kick this off. I call this "Death of a Roman"

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

[Brennus]

Thank you gentlemen!

[Brennus]

Eight days into the competition and two screenshots, lets hope there are some more (I refuse to let this post die quietly).

[Moosemanmoo]

Are those Makedonian thorakitai? If so, how?

[panten]

Well, to get things going, here's one as well. Nothing fancy, but the more the merrier, no?

Let's call it "Recon"
