The Shogun 2: Screenshot thread

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.

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.
