...to those of you who may be lost, I use a laptop. There IS no print scrn button on my computer.

I am betting you thought I was a NOOOOOB!

Sucks to be me, then.
Thanks for the advice, though... just a shame my computer doesnt have that button.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Yes, it's a beefy laptop. My old pc cant even run these games.

Actually I got a twisted sense of humour. Those so called "NOOBS" rarely post threads like you did. Going a bit off-topic but what laptop you have? Btw, check if the print screen button is labelled as "Sys Rq" on your laptop.

I have an HP Pavillion zd8000, customized with the maximum available memory and add-ons. Don't ask me about the specs, because it's all greek to me. Many florins were spent in its acquisition.

All I know is it is very heavy, it overheats, but it handles games like a dream.
By the way, no sys rq button either. I'm lucky I have a number pad.

*Enjoys the fact that this back and forth dialogue is keeping this post visible.

If only women were that easy....

You dont need that print scrn button to take screenshots!
Use a third party screenshot capture program, like Fraps! Take screenshots by pressing "F10" or "ö" if you wish! Its very easy to use... What is more, you can capture videos too. I probably got the "genius" trait, took only this long to figure that out. In fact I tested like 6 screenshot capture programs before recommending Fraps...

what's the research thing as mentioned in the title? I found no research thingy at all.

Good post pizzaguy ! IIRC you can also just change the screenshot key to make it any you want it to be in the options. So what's the Princess doing in Jeddah ? (lol) She's trying to hook some rich oil sheikh ! Also, just an idea you could zip all the saves into one file and post em to sendspace, in addition. So that way people can just download the whole thing if they want to browse through the turns.

If only women were that easy....

I think they are/can be. If you start a topic on the subject be sure to let me know about it, or if you frequent any other forums where this is already being discussed let me know. Got a lot of theories on that species.

1) Does IIRC stand for if I recall?

2) I was unaware that I could chose a print scrn key via the options menu. Thanks!

3) The princess in Jedda is from my France game as I recall. She must have been born and travelled along with her daddy on his non-stop conquer-the-world tour. Then, when he got to Arabia, he decided to ditch her. And no wonder, she's not that charming.

The princesses have pretty faces, but their personalities must be like Paris Hilton or something.

(Looks ok but is stuck-up, has a yappy little dog, sleeps around, and drinks. And did I mention stupid?)

I tried this too before trying any programs, didn't figure out how it worked though. I'm not a wizard when it comes to computers.

When you post many large pictures it might be wise to "spoiler" them. Some people still may have a slow internet connection. You can use the fat "B" button between the "php" and "ABC" buttons in the reply window. You could also post them as small, clickable pictures like Jong did here. I don't know how it's done but I'd like to know though.

Research was the category closest to what I was looking for.

To enable viewers to see a turn-by-turn method of rapidly conquering the world and give them tips on how to do it was my project. I don't think an entire game has been done before, from first to last turn.

I also use FRAPS, but it's hard to find an unused button that does not have some other application in at least one of the games I play, so I chose the Print screen button.

The down side to this is that I am still putting a TGA file in the game screen shot directory that I have to remember to clear out periodically. I don't particularily dislike TGA picture files, but a lot of simple free picture editing software that I use simply can't open them--stuff like Paint, Office picture editor, etc.

What would be the simplist way to disable the screen shot function of the game? (BTW you cannot disable it in the key options of the game--you can add a second key but not remove the Print screen key)

Cheers

What is this... "women".... you speak of? Even more puzzling. My computer doesn't have a button for that either. People have some fancy keyboards these days.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I have some homework to do, but I will be responding to everyone's posts, and then I will work on posting SCREENSHOTS and annotating this game.

Upated the links above to a single zipped file. Man, that could have saved me a bunch of work.

askthepizzaguy - IIRC means If I Remember Correctly, which is not to different to If I Recall.

That does it. I'm going to start inventing my own acronyms.

EDIT: first few images lost... see below for some.

The images and the rest of the story are hidden... How will you ever find them?

The next target is Bordeaux. Then Spain, then Africa, then Newfoundland, then the world! Also, Rennes has been sacked. In order to expand as fast as possible, I will need to figure out a way to snap up those French cities before I get excommunicated. Methinks ballistas are the way to go...



Heading to Caerbannog, home of the Killer Rabbit... I mean Caernarvon.



Seiging Bordeaux, sending reinforcements from Rennes.



Used the navy to transport to Dublin, sacked it after a bloody battle, and shipped off straightaway to Wales.



Laying seige to the Rabbit. Don't think those reinforcements will make it in time.



Just as I sacked Bordeaux, Sicily invades!!! Oh no! Oh woe is me! Curses and Drat! How will I ever survive? Answer: send a diplomat to make nice with the idiots, and crush them later.
