Welcome, it's my pleasure to open that thread, as it's always nice to see screenshots from others! and thanks for the advise, with GIMP, I didn't figured out how it's work yet, but eee, i posted only 4 pictures in my life on the forum (from wich the 3 above!) so, I still have to learn ;)

Looking foward to see your screenies!

Indian Burial Grounds

I know its cheap to use elephants but after getting my ass handed to me in India I wanted to submit this one.

I took this after my disasterous seige of Opiana in India on my Sel Campaign. One of my few defeats against the AI.... Mainly due to the fact i wasnt prepared to face 166 Elephants the AI had there. Did not take into account Inida's Generals Elephant Bodyguard which is seen here. I manged to kill off all the elephants but they devestated my men to such a degree i couldnt manage to kill the rest of the indian footmen in the center of town. I had armored elephants of my own and the rest of my army were Indian raised guild warriors, Inidan Bowmen and spearmen...

[Finn MacCumhail]

I was looking forward for it. Thanks.

Well, I couldn't choose only one pic but I see everyone post whatever number they like. It's good. More impressions.
Sorry but the caption has only one and the first pic

EDIT: if for some reason only one pic might take part in competition, then let it be the first "unequal duel" only.

I've found an alternative title, all thanks goes to:

Generally shirtlessness and nudity solve all problems in EB.

Great, but maybe it would still be better if you take this screenshot from behind that soldier?

[plutoboyz]

This is mine

Dodging an Arrow

[antisocialmunky]

Pick the angle you like the most.

The guy in the center of the second image is getting shot in the face.

[Teucer]

Well, I've never actually submitted to one of these, but here are a few shots I've taken over the years... some might be too cropped, but I'll let you all be the judges.

*Edited to remove extra pics* I suppose I should re-read the rules before posting...

FORWARD!

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

Great, but maybe it would still be better if you take this screenshot from behind that soldier?

Lol, you know it's quite hard to get 1 soldier per unit in the first place, and I took that screenshot ages ago. Glad you like it.

Cool pic Pobs! What faction did you play as?

What trouble did you have with Gimp?

Another minor suggestion, but if this is a competition, shouldn't everyone be limited to one screenshot? If everyone is posting 5 or 6 shots, pretty soon we're going to have to be choosing between 100+ pics.

[Unintended BM]

I just use paint for mine, takes like a minute and a half.

Also, I agree, everyone should choose one of their pictures posted to enter.

I'll have to get some good pictures during my Iberian conquest.

[Duguntz]

Yeah! I started the thread, but i never participated to any screenshot contest! if someone is used, please, share the rules with us! if we must pick only one pic, it's fine with me! but let's establish a number of rules! ideas?

[WinsingtonIII]

@Duguntz

Here are the rules from last May's competition, perhaps they should go in your original post:

Rules
-One submission per person per month
-Must be from EB
-No picture editting for this month's competition
-Only slight cropping will be allowed (small pictures are ok, just not extreme cropping)
-Please keep the dimensions to a size that fits in the forum screen (maximum of 1024ish)
-Must obey forum rules

Suggestions
-Turn off banners
-Turn off arrows and/or deselect your units
-Make sure the cursor, "Paused", and map border aren't showing
-Crop out the UI (though too much cropping may get your pic disqualified)
-No Elephants

The reason for no elephants is because apparently a shot with elephants won three months in a row, so people were worried that everyone was going to just start taking pictures of elephants. They just had no elephants as a suggestion instead of a rule, but I think it could be either.

For cropping, I would say allow any cropping that is done to get rid of the UI, etc, but over-the-top cropping that focuses on only one or two men in a big picture is too much.

[Jebivjetar]

Nice pics, guys! Especially I like the one showing brave sons of Carthage, sacred band infantry fighting some barbarian tribe.


Mine is called: Breaking the agema.

Nice one Jeb!

[SwissBarbar]

Hey you lazy buggers, this is a thread in the tradition of the venerable EB-screenshot competitions, and no "Post all your Screenshots"-Thread.

Rules
- One submission per person per month
(to be read in the first post of this thread)

Pick your favourite screenshot yourself, and post ONE! You can post another one in the next competition. Pff, today's youth! Show the old EB ways the respect due to them!

I have spoken

[Duguntz]

Yeah, SwissBarbar, tell 'em!!! ARRRRRGH! Follow example! I posted 4... I ereased 'em all to respect the rules!

[Subotan]

I have spoken

You should speak more often
