Screenshot of the Month Submission Thread (October)

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Alright, here we go!

The rules again:
- Every fan can participate but can only submit one screenshot every month.
- Full screens, only the UI is allowed to be cropped out.
-You are allowed to edit them with photoshop, it is however not a requirement.
- All images must come from EB.
-All screenshots must be send in before the last week of the month in this thread.

Now how will we choose the winner? Well the EB-team will elect the 10 best (if the amount of submissions require it). A poll will be opened the last week of the month, in which the fans can cast their vote. The winner will be the one who got the most votes. The poll will close the last day of the month. The next day submissions for the next month can be made in a new thread.

Good luck and best wishes,
-The EB Team.
note: all screens must be in before the 24th of October!

@TA: Have you made the sig banner for the winner of last month yet?

[Bootsiuv]

If we have minimal UI activated, I believe it will make a picture that isn't full screen, because we have to crop out the map in the upper right hand corner (I wish there was a way to make it slide like in M2:TW).

Is this slightly skinnier picture acceptable, or should I turn on normal UI for the competition?

"Marching into the Teutoberg Wald" or "Farewell of the Cohors Imperatoria" (in honor of EB 1.0 coming out- see below)


sorry for the Cohors Imperatoria being the old ones, but i made this screen a while ago.....

[-Praetor-]

Great pic!!!

It might be renamed as "Farewell of the Cohors Imperatoria"

[Hooahguy]

tnx for the comment and idea!
now, in honor of EB 1.0 coming out and the new cohors imperatoria, it will be alternatively named "Farewell of the Cohors Imperatoria"

[Zaknafien]

Changed mine, here it is:

"Comrades in Arms"

[Hooahguy]

aw..... no fair... he got the new units.....
jk! lol!

[johnhughthom]

aw..... no fair... he got the new units.....
jk! lol!

Now, now no whining this month

Seriously though your picture is really good(as was last months), should be hard to beat.

[Admetos]

Here's my entry for this month called "Rally!!!"

EDIT: Submission changed. See post #44

[Kampfkrebs]

Dudes stop spamming photoshop, lets try to stay "as close to reality as possible", please

[Hooahguy]

agreed!

[abou]

Here's my entry for this month called "Rally!!!"

Heh, reminds me of that one scene in Schindler's List... although the context is a hell of a lot different.

[Kampfkrebs]

Title: If Hannibal have had a lightsaber.

[Justiciar]

I concur with the no-photoshoping plee. It generally just ruins an otherwise decent screenshot. There are, of course, exceptions, but some people just take it too far.

[NeoSpartan]

This is a pic of the MP battle between me and madmatg. I was the Aedui and he was KH.

The following is called......


FLYING GAUL!




fyi: the KH cavarly pushed through them to get to my cavarly, and this fellar happen to "catch some air" during the whole thing.

p.s... oh yeah no photoshop, just a crude fraps pic from a battle replay!

[TWFanatic]

You say you don't want p-shop...then you vote for p-shop...p-shop pics are the only ones that ever win.

Give No Quarter!

[paullus]

pretty cool shot, but too much blood.

[Megas Pyrrhos]

EDIT: Changed entry. I was wrested from my laziness and paradoxical ways, and have returned to my non-edited custom of image entries.

I call it: Gods Save the Romani(Left Flank).

[Geoffrey S]

You say you don't want p-shop...then you vote for p-shop...p-shop pics are the only ones that ever win.

Which is a shame, since I really dislike extensive photoshopping of entries and have seen plenty which would have been fine without, or even poor. It's meant to provide screenshots for the EB site, where I'd have thought it'd be out of place. It'd be nice to see a rule against photoshopping.

[Thaatu]

Another one, all natural for you photoshop haters out there. If I really wanted to win, I'd be doing something else. Like playing ping pong, or maybe golf.



Antiochus Megas At River Arius (207 BCE)





With his army forming up behind him, the King is on his way towards the right flank, from where he'll be leading the battle. The Bactrian cavalry army looms in the distance.



(All the votes for this are dedicated to abou. Thanks! It was a great battle, and I got my ass kicked. I hope you're happy.)

[abou]

That is a great shot! And the morning sun looks amazing glinting off the armor.

Ah, and the Baktrian cavalry is there in the distance too! Awesome.

[Bava]

Some very nice shots so far. TwFanatic´s is the best so far imho, very atmospheric and not overly photoshoped.


Btw, where does Antiochos Megas come from? Is it a refencere to the old persian "great king"?

[abou]

Megas is the Greek adjective for great.

Megas Alexandros - Alexander the Great or The Great Alexander
Antiochos Megas - Antiochos the Great

I think Mithradates IV of Pontos actually gained the epithet as well.

My favourite by far. I tested that battle once; first thing I did was racing towards my Argyraspides for cover from the Baktrian horde! --Then I quit the battle 'cause I was basically testing if the battle would load after abou had fixed something.

[Charge]

My first screen. edit: I found a bit better screen from that session, this one has only 2 ps little changes...

"Ephesus captured!"

[Sygrod]

I would swear that some screenshots look like "paint by number". It really detracts from the excellent work done painstakingly by our talented modders.

A slight change in hue can really add to a picture, but otherwise I have to agree that the overdone screenshot pics, while artistically interesting, don't often add any to the beauty of a good screenshot.

My two favourites are Antiochus Megas At River Arius (207 BCE) and Ephesus captured!.

[TWFanatic]

pretty cool shot, but too much blood.

That's the point.

I would swear that some screenshots look like "paint by number". It really detracts from the excellent work done painstakingly by our talented modders.

I agree. Nevertheless, I submit a heavily modded screen shot because those are the only ones that ever win. And until separate categories are created, I will continue to do so.

[Megas Pyrrhos]

Nice one Charge, though the odd light in the middle of the image kinda kills it...I don't understand how it's supposed to fit into the grand scheme of the pic. Though it does look like you used one of the lighting effects in P-Shop to cause that.

[Charge]

eee... yes. I was thinking about it, and now sure this peace of light needs to be on a chief' sword or off...
Though anyway incorrect lighting was in game, and I didn't changed it.
