EB February screenshot competition (submission thread)

[Gaivs]

f5, f6, and f7 dont work for me, any idea why?

[Megas Pyrrhos]

Rebellious or devious keyboard? Vista(though it's workin fine for me)? My number lock key is on, and the F keys still work, maybe try that if you don't have it on?

[The General]

Uh huh, there sure are some fine candidates 'round 'ere.

*Nods approvingly*

[Mediolanicus]

f5, f6, and f7 dont work for me, any idea why?

They only work if you have minimal UI enabled.

[The Celtic Viking]

Ok, so here's the one I chose. I'll call it: "Sweboz on the move".

This will be an extremely difficult choice. I've seen a lot of excellent screens.

[Barbarian]

@ The Vicious Monkey


Wow! I like this one! The dust at the horizon makes it hard to see how many soldiers are there in total. Scary!

[The Celtic Viking]

Thanks, mate. (Yeah, it's me, TVM. I figured since I'm not especially vicous (I swear, I'm not!), and really more of an ape than a monkey, it's due time to get my third nick for my third year here in the org. )

It would be so much easier to get good screens if the bloody game wasn't so good you could actually think of something else when you're playing it. Too often do I start fraps and play through epic battles, only to realize in the end that I forgot to take any pictures.

[Obelics]

ok just for fun, really it dont worth some of the great images posted here, it's much static...
anyway:

It's a hard life...

[Mediolanicus]

It may be a little bit static, it has a very menacing atmosphere. Something very Silence before the storm-like.

[Obelics]

thanks, should be nice to have lava floading outside while you battles in the game too...with you and the enemy routing at the same time..

[aftzengeier]

Eeh...
Last month a corpse of a good screen took the cup and HWAAat do my eyes see NOW??? That's no competition... It is WAAR I just like the first of all posted pictures best.

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Here's one from outside Tolouse, nothing added:

Waiting

[Gaius Valerius]

ok just for fun, really it dont worth some of the great images posted here, it's much static...
anyway:

It's a hard life...

What unit is that? Awesome pick btw.

[The Celtic Viking]

It's a band of Keltohellenikoi Hoplitai, no doubt.

[Obelics]

Yes they were Kelto-Hellenic Hoplites, i was fighting a battle near Capua with my Aedui against romans, i had an army composed of hastati and celtic hoplites. You can train them in Capua as regionals as in Massilian Emporion and other towns

Great picture Teleklos, love the muntains panoramic and the rain drops

[Gebeleisis]

how much can we modify a picture so it can be valid ofr the competition :)?
cause i want to add on of mine tommorow

[Admetos]

As much as you want.

[Ayce]

They only work if you have minimal UI enabled.

Where do you enable it?

[Goth47]

Waiting

Goth

[Geoffrey S]

Love Teleklos' shot, very moody - what are they waiting for?

[Strategos Alexandros]

Teleklos' is good, what are the cavalry on it? Obelics' is also very good

[Jolt]

Love Teleklos' shot, very moody - what are they waiting for?

For votes. :P

About the elephant looking uninterested, don't forget elephants were given wine to make them angry, but don't forget wine also made them...drunk. And the elephant looks really drunk in the picture. :P, that's why he looks uninterested, it's all realistic. (It gets my vote. The soldier seems overwhelmed with the large beast)

[Tellos Athenaios]

Mounted version of Ambarako, methinks -> Ambarako Epones, sp?
