My first small semi professional military force of the newly Independant Bactrian Kingdom, recruited from the Eastern fringes of my small Kingdom (i only have 3 cities, i'm taking it very very slow). They were sent south to apprehend a Syrian General sent to 'pressure' us back to Satrapy. I thought it was quite beautiful, especially the Buddhist wheel on the shields and the standard bearers. I was quite proud to see them marching, as they were my first army recruited for defense of the Kingdom.

Nice, one of these again. I'll see if I can find a submission tomorrow.

[Paltmull]

Nice! I'll post my submission a soon as I can.

Why is "no elephants" under "Suggestions" btw?

[CashMunny]

I imagine he suggested no elephants because they seem to pop up numerous times in every screenshot thread. There's only so much you can do with an elephant screenshot, and it is almost always just an elephant sending guys flying. Yes, it looks cool, but we've all seen it a million times and it's not very original. It's kind of like a humongous explosion in a movie, yeah it looks cool but we don't really even enjoy it that much anymore, the novelty has worn off after 20-30 years of that kind of special effect being inserted everywhere. Same with elephants. After 3 years of elephant screenshots, let's see something else!
