_∴ 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 sixth 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 ∴_

Entering a screenshot

You may enter only one screenshot per category ;
You may use modding for your screenshots ;
You can use both AoM (Vanilla) or AoM: TT (Chocolate) ;

You can't make your screenshot before the beginning of the current competition ;

The previous winner can compete in the competition he/she set the theme for.

Voting for a screenshot

You may vote only one time per competition ;
You may vote for a single screenshot ;
The previous winner can vote for a screenshot ;
Current contestants can vote for someone else's screenshot ;

You cannot vote for your own screenshot.

After voting

The contestant that has the most votes wins the current category ;
The winner may pick a theme for the new one, he/she 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.

Other rules/notices

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

_∴ Taking And Hosting Your Screenshot ∴_

You can make screenshots with the following methods:

(Editor) Go in File > Screenshot, and click on Hide Interface and Cursor ; this will leave a stamp of the AoM logo and date. This proves the authenticity of your screenshot. The screenshot will be located in \Documents\My Games\Age of Mythology\Screenshots (Titans) or %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\Screenshots (Vanilla).
(Editor) Press "H" on you keyboard, and take the shot by hitting Ctrl+F12. The screenshot will be located in %UserProfile%\Documents\My Games\Age of Mythology\Screenshots (Titans) or %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\Screenshots (Vanilla).
(Editor/In-game cinematics) Hit the PrintScreen key. Your screenshot will be located in your clipboard. Paste it in a program like Paint or Photoshop. Be careful : this method makes you lose a little bit of your screenshot's quality.
Take a look at Mephiles' guide on how to take a screenshot.

You forgot Anraheir

Sorry, when I was listing up the entries I saw yours, but I waited to see your second screenshot. I didn't find any link and forgot it. When you resubmit a shot, please edit your post, it would be more helpful

Should have made a current round rule that Nidhogg wasn't allowed.

Aww, I forgot to use a condition... that would have been cool

You didn't find the link? How can that be? You were one of the first ones to comment on my resubmition, saying "It's great

!" I was unaware of the fact that we're supposed to edit our original post. I'll keep that in mind for next time...

If it's not too late, here is my entry, called "Indecision."

I would have voted for either Hades, Anraheir or Zenophobia if the atmosphere in their shots was as dark and mysterious as in Euro's shot. Anraheir did use the right terrain type to make the scenery more dramatic. But why oh why did you (Hades and Zenophobia) use the default lighting?

Sorry, I have to vote for Euro again because he outclassed your shots with his amazing atmosphere.

So damn hard to decide, and so many entries! Nice!
Hm, I have to choose between overall beauty and innovative thinking... Which is between Euro's shot respectively Zeno's.

Gah, I guess I'm old-fashoined or something:

Vote: Euro

Or make a school bleacher, with the audience killing eachother and such

Or interpret it as nirvana from buddhism, and do a really peaceful/nature themed scene. I don't have time to enter, as usual, but still.
