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 its fifth 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.

Taking and hosting your screenshot
You can host shots at:

You can make in-game screenshots with the following methods:

Press the Print Screen button on your keyboard.
Paste your shot into a program like Paint.

Or take a look at Mephiles' guide on how to take a screenshot.

Winners from earlier rounds
All previous winners have been uploaded to the gallery here.
You can also find a sub-album for first place entrants.

Lets hope for a fun and fair competition, and good luck to all entries.

Best regards,
Your host,
Yeebaagooon

Very nice thread, Gooon

I think in fact it was Alex Of Macedon. His screen was excellent nonetheless though.

Tip: You can save money by buying individual nuts and mixing them yourself.

I'd like to argue that.

If you're aiming for a specific quantity of mixed nuts you will most likely have to purchase an excess of expensive cashews which will offset the cost of labor involved in mixing.

i have two top tips:
"If possible try to use cinematic models."
"SFX effects often give a huge increase of the atmosphere in the scene."

Gratz El, fab shot!!! Since I had won the first "Abyss" round (Thread 3) I was curious to see what people would fabricate. Quite different ideas this time.

Can I ask a question concerning the voting in the previous round.

There were two votes for "Blank", were these for the third entry in the list (the only one with no username to it)? I think it was from Zenophobia, a very good shot imho, and it's imaginable that he got these votes. Or perhaps the "blank" voters were just mumbling confused stuff and I didn't get it.

Like that shot, Emjer. Nice lush colors.

Thanks, rel.

@everyone: I don't know if the object for my burning sun was common, so I'll ask y'all to guess what I used for the fireball in the top middle of my pic:

Harpies' Attack anims are just amazing.

Look at this: http://i.imgur.com/1d00v.jpg
After the Sfx there is steam coming out of the Harpy's buttocks, go try it, it's awesome !
