Celtic (Lesser) Generals pose for happy snap

How the hell did you manage to do that?

I assume you are referring to Psycho V's screenshot and not my use of a thumb-smily.

Its the Aurora Borealis. Fighting in Northern Europe?

Actually Illyria, so I was surprised my self.

It looks like your video card is overheating.

Maybe, I was playing for awhile, still, if that's the only side effect, it's worth it.

Yes, that would be correct.

[PSYCHO V]

Yes, that would be correct.

[the_handsome_viking]

No, don't just laugh at me, seriously, tell me how you did that.

[PSYCHO V]

No, don't just laugh at me, seriously, tell me how you did that.

Did what exactly?

[Tux]

Did what exactly?

He seems to not understand how those generals are sitting near each other, well i presume he made some renders of them in max and after pasted them in that background from rome or directly rendered that from max(with that screenie from rome as background).

Oh, that... Yup

[the_handsome_viking]

Oh, that... Yup

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not only that, but I've not seen those generals before with their fancy helmets and what not.

[Epistolary Richard]

Very simple one this, but I like it - something about those javelin cavalry on the hill-line looks very cinematic



And it's even more impressive if reverse the shot and see it from their perspective:

I can't wait. That looks so awesome. However, in that pic, it looks like the

[Teleklos Archelaou]

I call this one "Wrong Place, Wrong Time":



He's part of a big army attacking my city, but he was a unit of one. He took a wrong turn somewhere though, unfortunately for him. Other captions may be submitted.

edit: from the other direction:



He charged in bravely right toward the strongest unit I had - even though he was "shaken". He hit the spears and it knocked him off his feet, but he courageously got back up,

and tried to draw his tiny spear back to strike, and at that moment about three spears jabbed him and he dropped to the ground.


Poor guy. He wasn't a dying gaul (this is Pergamon), but close I guess. He was a dying Pontic Doryphoros. I'll call him Ted.

[Teleklos Archelaou]

I need to write a long and in-depth AAR about Ted and what brought him to this point. Sort of a "prequel" to these four screenshots.

[Baldrick]

Poor brave Pontus Ted. I think the patch needs to include a small bronze statue celebrating his selfless courage (or stupidity..either would be acceptable) somewhere in Pergamon. The team should be focussing all their energies on this, the CTD's and the 'Who is replacing the Yuezhi' question become insignificant when compared to this one lone warriors sacrifice

[SirPoot]

I got pictures of Ted's other incarnations! Check these out!



The last standing man in the army charges headlong into 500+ mounted armored archers. Too bad he never made it.



I'm evil.



This is one poor fellow. He thought he is safe behind the frontlines...



A heroic death!



Same scene as above, but zoomed out.

[the_handsome_viking]

Poor ted =( why didn't you just let him live?

[Teleklos Archelaou]

That crazy SOB charged my guys. What was I gonna do? There's not exactly a "just stand there and let that one guy jab at you cause he's kinda pathetic" button. What a brave fellow though...

[the_handsome_viking]

Ok, this is going to sound crazy, but I didn't actually realize that he wasn't one of your guys.

I have the flu, so that's my excuse for not noticing...

When I saw the pictures and read the sentences you wrote, I somehow got the idea that he was your guy and you decided to make him charge the enemy army for heroic and comic effect.

Sorry about that...

[David_VI]

Maybe Ted was just looking for tavern to get some beer when he took a wrong turn?

:( Poor Ted

[Ambiorix]

Bittersweet for me, because I ctd'd about 2 seconds after this happened, it was such a fun battle, too...

[jerby]

isn't that a well-balanced army....

[Ambiorix]

Unfortunately, when it's by and far the best of the two or three units you can train in the nearest three provinces to the full stack of the Ptolemaioi's, that turns out to be the majority of your army, it was really mustered up in a hurry. My army from the north (Kart-Hadast and surrounding provinces) is much more balanced with adequate skirmishers, Elite African Infantry and Pikemen, and Sacred Band Cavalry.

[GodEmperorLeto]

Too bad you can't save the battle in campaign like in Medieval. I'd love to watch the carnage. I haven't seen that many losses since defending Mino province back in Shogun: Total War.

[QwertyMIDX]

I enjoyed this one:

[Teleklos Archelaou]

You should draw a banana peel under his foot, shooting up into the air.

[Zenith Darksea]

Nah, the guy's intimidating the enemy by showing them how much better his break-dancing is than theirs...

[Radier]

Haha, realy enjoyed the Ted-screens.
