What is this thread about?
The Continuous Screenshot Competition is stolen from AoKH, where it has been active and used for a very long time. It is to promote screenshots, and also to just have fun looking at and making the scenery. Each time there will be a theme in which the screenshot should fit, the winner of last theme is allowed to pick the new one. If a winner wins for the second time in a row, the number 2 is allowed to pick the theme. This thread is it's fourth installment, and you might be wondering why we need a new thread. This is because of thread corruption: The more posts a thread gets (over 2500), the more likely it is to corrupt, and I think it would be a big waste if we lost all the links to screenshots from the previous threads.

The rules

• Until further notice, previous categories may be used.
  
• You may only enter one screenshot per category.
  
• The previous winner can compete in the competition he set the theme for, this is a form of trust, so be honest.
  
• Please do not suggest themes for the winner.
  
• No altering of screenshots, except for adding text, borders and logos.
  
• Modding is allowed.
  
• Both AoM and AoM: TT screenshots can be used.
  
• You are not allowed to make screenshots from maps created before the competition, but you can use the map for something else after taking the screenshot.
  
• No flaming, but constructive comments are allowed.
  
• Everyone is allowed to vote one time per competition for one screenshot.
  
• The winner of the last round may pick the theme for the new one, he can also add an extra restriction.
  
• If same person wins in twice in a row (or more times), the runner-up may pick the new theme.
  
• You cannot vote for your own screenshot.

Time between the competitions
We have one week for the competition followed by 2 days to vote, after that the winner can post the new theme and we can start again.
