The Shogun 2: Screenshot thread

[Monk]

Mino fields: 1589. The war for the Shogunate is over, but the war for Japan is just beginning.

Ah, the fallen covering the field, great screenshot! I always like to survey the field after a battle, pay homage to the dead

[phonicsmonkey]

I like to call this one: "Oops I think I left the back door unlocked."



And here's one from my Shimazu campaign:

[Dead Guy]

I get to deploy on a nice ridge, protruding out of the mist.



I do love the mist, but I hate fighting in it. This battle was great though, getting a proper hill is rare it seems.

[Monk]

What a shot

I especially love the castle bathed in the morning mist in the background of the map. Amazing stuff.

[A Nerd]

Here is one I took.

Here are some more.

Looking good JujuBee!

Fighting a lot of siege defenses I see, AI got you on the ropes?

One clan from that Shimazu island did a naval invasion way behind my lines in the province where Date starts. I was pushing thru Chosakobe territory! Took me by complete surprise! :D

Boy I know how that feels. In previous TW games I never felt I had to build a decent navy, but in Shogun 2 you're really asking for it if you don't expand your naval power. A stack of Medium Bunes and bow ships are typically enough to win any sea battle through auto-calc. That is.. unless you run into the heavier hitters.

Good luck pushing out the invaders!

Thanks! As I struggle to pull together an army to get rid of them, I will push on. 12 more provinces and I win the campaign!

It helps to have trade routes because you get a bit of line-of-sight along them so you can keep an eye out for fleets with armies if you pay attention.

[Dead Guy]

I always have a full fleet on each side of Honshu, around my westernmost/easternmost province. Granted, I've only played Chosokabe and Shimazu, so those fleets basically protected the west entirely, eventually. Though all the straits and bays in the inland seas between Kyushu, Shikoku and Honshu are a nightmare early on in both campaigns. I had 4 fleets for a while, to be sure not to lose trade income because of surprise wako pirates and instantly go bankrupt.

Here's some random shots--two or three out of a campaign--all the rest were from the spring rice field in the battle generator

This was out of my Shimazu campaign. I just like the dynamic of the charging cavalry. Wish I had saved a battle replay so I could have removed the big banners

Almost too pretty a day to fight:

The Shimazu chase the Chosokabe out of their pot patch:

Lastly, just for grins--seems like there should be an elf setting under that tree:

That second last shot is really cool. Nice grey-scale thing...

Thanks. Other than cropping, that shot is actually unaltered/unedited. It was one of those misty winter battlefields where all the trees look white, but there's no snow of the ground. The light was coming from behind, so it gave it that grey scale look.

Heres the same shot from the other side, which shows a bit more color:

Amazing posts Forward Observer

I really like the picture of the castle, very peaceful. Almost makes you forget there's a battle going on.

[xploring]

Really nice, scenic screenshots Forward Observer. I like the ones with the charging cavalry in the field. You should post some to the screenshot contest running at the moment.

[Gregoshi]

Great screenshots FO. Very artistic. The photographer in me loves them.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Wow, a lot of very nice screenshots here.

Now, if only there were some sort of contest where you could win a $50 game with your screenshot....

I will be posting something to the contest, but I was holding off--hoping that the DX11/10.1 fix was going to happen before the submission time is up since I wanted at least one of my two entries from the new game.

Also, I been using a two year old GTX285 GPU, which is serviceable, but have a new GTX560 Ti from Newegg due in this week. The new GPU should allow me to notch the game resolution to my native 1920 X 1200 and force AA through the Nvidia control panel without slowing the game up too much.

Due to a slight miscalculation on my withholding, I got an embarrassingly large tax refund this year, and decided to blow some of it on a new graphics card.

Cheers

Sometimes it's not the fighting that proves to be the most interesting part of the battles... but rather the peacefulness you're about to shatter.

I think I have some good ones
