Does anybody have any screenshots to share?

Here is my filebox account with 13 pictures all labeled

I'm at 254 BC in my Romani campaign and Baktria has made their Saka neighbors their protectorate.

Also unfortunately the Casse, Armenia, Getai, Saurmatae, Sab'yn, and Parthia seemed to be crippled by debt. Also a KH and Epirus alliance is giving Makedon a really hard time.

Good news is Pontus is expanding along the Black Sea coast and the Lusotanni are making inroads finally.

Casse meets macedon: Macedon getting their butts kicked:



Argyraspidai never retreat: Macedon defeated:



Good fighting lads:



My macedon army ready to fight a real army (instead of the 60 slingers mopped up by the cavalry):

Oh please, will you people turn banners off!

They are so ugly, and so unrealistic...

[Lucasiewicz]

how do you do this?

@Oleo: you met Macedonia in Belgae?? Wauw. That's a long way from their home

We'd love to have more movie cam shots too guys - we're still very busy working on the mod, and don't have as much time to do that. Our PR department is sort of nonexistant as you can probably tell. So if you want to fight some glorious battles, particularly near cool stuff like wonders, then save the battle replay and go in using the movie cam feature and take some full screen shots to post. We'd love it!

[Ludens]

how do you do this?

Go to [EB Folder]\EB\preferences\preferences.txt, and change the line "show_banners:TRUE" to "show_banners:FALSE".

Huzzah!



The clipping of their shields sort of ruins it though.

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

Heres one I thought was funny:

Why you don't attack unflankable phalanxes with militia.

[paullus]

justiciar: minus the clipping, that would be a truly awesome shot!

[Justiciar]

Aye, shame. I did get a few others that aren't quite as good but might be worth adding. The following being from a single, very small battle. First picture's messed up by another poorly placed 'camera' though. That or he tried snatching arrows from mid-flight.

[Caratacos]

that 2nd shot of the guy crashing to the ground is awesome. might even be worth photoshopping a blood trail tracing his arc through the air (then adding an EB logo )

[Justiciar]

The last picture looks sort of perverse at a glance.. Poorly placed fallen standard bearers ftw!

[Reverend Joe]

This one should simply be called:

"thwunk"

@Gonzo
Hah!
And that ladies and gentle man is why you should always wear a helmet.

[Oleo]

I thought I'd try that battle replay/movie cam. The romans in the campaign are way to scared for a good fight.


Macedon standing ready to defend the pyramids



Romans advance



Cavalry, trying to mow down Peltastai, end up in wall of spears



Macedon elite, eager to fight.



Hetairoi come charging, forgetting to turn their spears in time (1)



In the heat of the fight



Pila's looking for targets.



Riding with the Prodromoi



Stupid general. Brave, but stupid.



Argyraspidai getting flanked



Hetairoi come charging, forgetting to turn their spears in time (2)



Finally, when the battle is over, while mopping up Hetairoi got it right.



Aftermath



Aftermath, from the Pyramid

A couple more..

My favorite unit:



Bad Idea: Becoming a greek officer.. OUCH



peltasts:



Somebody please tell these Equites Extraordinarii to bring weapons to a fight.

Great screens
I suck at taking screenshots, but i'm decent at photoshopping them
If i have time later i'll maybe edit some of these (with your permission of course)
and post the results

btw i don't remember - how do you enable the movie cam?

Sure, go ahead.

how do you enable the movie cam?

add -movie_cam to the shortcut:

"InstallPath\RomeTW.exe" -mod:eb -nm -show_err -movie_cam

Somebody please tell these Pedites Extraordinarii to bring weapons to a fight.

Equites Extraordinarii.

[Oleo]

Equites Extraordinarii.

Oh cr*p.. thats so silly 6 years Latin in high school down the drain.

[paullus]

Sword of Elendil!

...I wish I could remember more, I'm not even sure that's right, oh well, its what I thought of when I saw it.

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Nice Oleo. About 20 good moviecam shots is helpful. If you do anymore, getting some closer up shots with units would be great - especially if you could fight a battle in palms and take shots - or anywhere else picturesque.

Let me know what faction you'd like and I'll get you an auxiliary banner. Of course another battle's worth of moviecam shots would be really sweet too.

[blank]

It's kinda crappy though

some romans from the preview topic:

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Oh - but dont' worry with making moviecam shots of units that are mucked up currently. One of those cavalry units has no spear in most all the shots. Hopefully we will have almost all unit issues worked out for our next patch.

And one other thing: If someone would like to take these shots for us to use, please try to keep your unit detail and shadows all on high. Keeping most graphics settings on high would be optimal for us on these. Plus having huge unit size would be terrific.

-------------------------
Blank: the roman cavalry shot was very nice - spears through the officer wasn't so great (we're working on that)

[paullus]

what happened to the two-hand pike grip on those argyraspidai? is this another wierd thing about blank's build, or is it an across-the-board problem?

Nothing. I think you'll need to look closer. Try putting them out of phalanx mode in a custom battle.

Awesome tk! Even more impressive given your crappy computer.
