Do we really need to compete?

[MiniMe]

I know that screenshots without people and some kind of editing are not going to win the competition.
Besides, I'm not intrested in competition.
Just wanted to share with you.
Pure and and simple:
"A postcard from Hayasdan"

[Eduorius]

Lovely.

I have taken some of those (landscape screenshot) and used them as backgrounds.

[tapanojum]

go hai postcards!

Thanks. I love taking nice landscape sshots too. Great job with the sky and all EB graphic artists!






Some of them were taken during or before battles yet some of them exclusively, using the "View Settlement on the Battle Map" function.

nice pics, mates.

And We HAVE TO COMPETE!!

"EB world would be a better place without human scum"

My generals are kind of sentimental chaps. This one was taken immediately after infamous Maryab massacre of dune dwellers 235BC

[NeoSpartan]

competitions are cool they bring up some pretty sick and cool screenshots BUT u can't let it get to your head and take away your enjoyment of the game and screens that YOU think are cool.

I sometimes post in the pics forum, and sometimes I don't. Since 1.0 came out I haven't posted a pic because having fraps running will just slow down my already slow game.

[Pharnakes]

A couple of mine:





TBH, I'm not really sure I can see the point of competitions, either. Hence I don't ussualy enter.

[Thaatu]

To be honest, I don't expect to win. I just do it to offer some choice. And no, we don't HAVE TO compete. There's much too few screenshots around here anyway.

I'll be back. Hopefully with some shots.

[Redmeth]

You landscape lovers will love what we have in store...

[Geoffrey S]

Just need to use this oppurtunity to congratulate Goth. He's done an absolutely marvelous job on the skies and lighting files.

[Dayve]

I wouldn't even vote for a screenshot that has been enhanced, i really think that in future polls there needs to be strict rules that screenshots must be purely from EB. Different graphics settings don't mean a thing, it's not the graphics that make a screenshot awesome, it's what is going on in the actual screenshot.

2Mouzafphaerre: don't get provoked, don't show them you're interested, don't ask them questions, don't post treads "how soon?", don't get angry or post whipping smilies either
Don't you see, that's what they want you to do, they actually want you to suffer cause that's what they like !
Instead be neutral, pay no attention and show no interest in their posts.
Paying no attention to their teasing is the one and only way to force them release next release

Having EB on your computer running is just like travelling all over the world....

And yes, the EBesque skies and landscapes are gorgeous...so many of my soldiers got slain while I was absent, looking at the skies and reciting Homer....

...Ups, there go my horsey archers....but look at the skies....

For real: this is one aspect of EB which gives a lot of atmosphere to the battles!
Great job!

The beauty of the landscape increased greatly in 1.0. I only think that the shadow side of units is a bit too dark. At least I can't remember that it is so dark in reality, but I might be wrong.

Anyway, great idea this thread.

Brilliant pics, Nixalsverdrus.

[Hooahguy]

nice photos!

[Mediolanicus]

Great pics all!
And a great idea to start a screenshot posting thread!

Here are two of my pics. Both of my Sauromatae campaign.
Sorry for the photo-shopping.

That's my opinion too. Sandy or snowy ground reflects light, even on shadows. Not sure about grass... Haven't seen it for a while, but I don't recall such strong shadows. Especially the difference between unit shadows and object shadows is distracting.

Haven't seen grass for a while?

Are you completly stuck to your EB screen, or is it just too snowy in Finland?

[Reno Melitensis]

Who his interested in making a greeting Eb postcards Thread?

Cheers

[bovi]

Heh, it almost looks like the guy in front is punching the other one.

[The General]

Some very nice pics in this thread, thanks for all the posters.

or is it just too snowy in Finland?

*Dreams about mounds of snow all around*

Nope, no snow in Finland, to our great unfortune. Or, well, at least where I've friends and relatives, 'tseems.

Bloody global warming.

hope my previous post in this tread did not somehow offended you (or them)

[Tellos Athenaios]

Oh for me it didn't. I can *play* the internal version which is much more fun than teasing you with it. ... All that new stuff...

[Mouzafphaerre]

Not at all! Actually I was trying to counter the humour using the emphasis but apparently it doesn't work when you're too sleepy.



Let them play the buggy internal version with all the CTDs when we get the ironed out one, which they can't play because they'll be busy with the next internal buggy stuff.

The ground is pretty dead around here. Also sun is a rarity.
