Two more nice pictures.
Animal cruelty - no, elephants love water and after a huge battle, bath is the best relax, it's only their stupidity, that they leave their trunks underwater (or maybe they are drinking)

Emporor Burakuku's picture features the old, extremely ugly trees. I'm sure the picture was taken in northern Italy / alpine Region. No offence intended, I just wanted to point that out. (Glad I'm not the only one)

None taken, it's true. It was taken during my old campaign and I think it's Makedonia if I'm right... I remember that it was a fight against Epeiros or Makedonia... Could be Patavium also. Don't remember exactly. My old video card makes thing even more complicated (when taking screenshots) because if I go with the video details on high the game is unplayable so... Sharp observation anyway.

I actually forgot how to take screenshots. Anyone care to refresh my memory?

The easiest way is to download fraps (http://www.fraps.com/) and use that. But it's not necessary - you can also hit print screen, and then open up MS Paint, Photoshop or any such program, and then hit ctrl+v. The downside with that is that if you don't save your picture before you hit print screen again, the first picture will be lost forever.

That's how you do it. It's highly recommended that you turn banners off and have no unit visible in the picture selected (or just turn of the green arrows). Also recommended is using the minimal_ui on, and hit F5, F6 twice and F7. That way the only thing left that you need to remove from the picture is your mouse cursor, which you can easily do by putting it for example in the blue sky, and then painting over it with the same shade of blue. Just cropping it out works too, but you get more of the action in the picture this way.
