Hey severous, how do you take screen shots? I post one of my campaign when I get a chance. I've always liked the screen shots I see here. Do you need a seperate program or something? Anyways, My game is a bit bogged down nowm but I am currently moving towards the civil war. Armies are moving from the Greek mainland towards Capua and Rome. Forces in Gaulish territories are receeding back hoping they can hold the lines with fewer forces to attack the Julii. Having a bit o trouble with those Gauls though, and I had to bribe a Numidian army for major cash which I hated doing. They just love marching armies 10 turns acrost the desert to my undefended territories. Then again a diplomat bribe would be cheaper than keeping an army there for ten turns, no? Anyways It's turn 22 and I need to take Alexandria and Memphis. I had an army in place but he had to double bakc to Jerusaleum via ship costing me time. I have to said that northern Pontus territory that starts with an S. Army is curretnly moving in place, shouldn't be a problem by the time I get everything else done. I need to betray the Selucids and take the four territories of theres close to the coast. Two armies cuurently on the way. Good timimg too. The PArthian have a stack of 20 Seleucids holed up a Hatra under siege. I love the Parthians now! Makes my job allot easier. I don't know why the Seleucids sent so many troops out in the middle of the desert. Evidently they didn't think I would break my word. Need to grab the Gibraltar territiries, armies on the way. Have the civil war, that should take more than 5 turns once it starts.

If I hold the line with the Gauls I might be able to make it in close to 30 turns. Not sure if getting 40 by 260 would matter though as you will bogged down in Egypt anyways and waste time their. I have killed over 10000 Egyptians at Jeruslaeum over three turns. WOW! they got allot of people.

I'll help you with this problem

Hey severous, how do you take screen shots? I post one of my campaign when I get a chance. I've always liked the screen shots I see here. Do you need a seperate program or something?

You can do it with a programm called fraps :

Or you can do it a little different, a slightly more tedious way:

• During a battle press printscrn
• alt-tab out of the game.
• open paint
• press paste ( ctrl V )
• save as a .jpg file.

Then you can host your image at :

all you have to do to post shots in get the image you want to save on the screen and hit the PRINT SCREEN button which should be on the top right of the keyboard. Then minimize the game and go to paint or so photoshop and paste the image. Then save the image as a JPEG file. Go to photobucket.com and open an account for free. Browse your images and select the one you want and hit submit. It will take a few moments and then you should have a thumbnail image on the screen. Under that, copy the Image URL and then post the url on this site. And you should have a screen shot for all to see.

Alternatively, hit print screen.

When you've finished playing, go to the Activision/RTW/tga's folder. Open it, the pics are there.. you can then save them in JPEG.

You know, playing the campaign exactly by someone else's way without thinking just seems a bit.. tedious and pointless.

Has anyone tried this yet? Apart from longbowman.

O, that does save alot of time. Thanks.

How to screenshot.

Been well answered above. I play my games vanilla and keep my computer vanilla. So MSPaint is what I use and host via Imageshack. Got hundreds of pictures.

TGA'S files dont do anything for me. Cant open them in any application. I regulary delete the lot as they are 2.5meg each and take up a lot of space...especially when I take a dozen or so pictures of every battle.

A bit back on topic. The graphs of territory should put beyond doubt the expansion progress of any claimant.

Heres my current Egypt campaign....not yet played winter 260...so should claim another region before 260 is up. No where near 39 but I am pleased with it. Each to their own.

This strategy would work best with Carthage, with their elephants reducing siege time to nought. This would be easy conquest of Europe if you just abandon Sicily.

[limitedwhole]

Hey Tiberious. Nevr played with Carthage. I know they start with sizable navy. Can they make elephants right at the start? How many units of elephants do they start with? While they might able to conquer europe fast, it seems they would have to take on the romans sooner than later to get to 40 fast. Would your strategy be to blitz europe, then have your rear armies take on the romans?
