    Default HOW DO YOU TAKE SCREENSHOTS?

    Am at a point where I would like to submit a AAR.

    I have Vista! Anything special here? I have a
    "Snipping Tool" but dont know how to get to it with something running full screen.

    Thanks for your help

    I hit control and print screen which copies the image to the cache. I then alt-tab out of the game and post it into photoshop, save it, and alt-tab back into EB.

    I think there is another way to do it, but I haven't figured it out.

    download fraps. it enables you to take multiple screen shots without having to paste them to paint

    The easiest and quickest way is simply to press Print Screen while in game, then the game will save the images into a folder called "tgas" in your base RTW folder.

    Hmmm... I don't have a tga or tgas folder in my game. Did you have to activate it somehow?

    IIRC it creates it itself when you take your first shot, if not then just make a folder called "tgas" in C:/Program Files/Creative Assembly/Rome - Total War, or wherever you've got EB installed.

    Only thing I can suggest is play custom or mp battles, save the replay and then you have as much control as you want.

    Though this method does not work if you have Anti-Aliasing enabled in your game settings. It's probably easier just to download a program like FRAPS.
