_____ 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 modify (photoshopping) your screenshot, except for cropping and adding text, borders and logos ;
  • You may modify (with AoM) your shot after posting it. It must be similar. You can only repost it once ;
  • You are not allowed to make screenshots from maps created before the competition ;
  • 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 ;
  • Until further notice, previous categories may be used ;
  • If same person wins in twice in a row (or more times), the runner-up may pick the new theme.
Other rules/notices
  • No flaming, but constructive comments are allowed ;
  • Please do not suggest themes for the winner ;
  • Users that constantly vote against contestants for fractious reasons will lose the right to vote for the following category.
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 can host your shots at:

Cool drawing! I'm an artist too (at least by night ). My stuff deals with abstract pointillism. I use Faber-Castell pens. Check it out. I've tried partial realism too.

Interesting shot Euro! I get the silhouette.

Anraheir, that's really interesting artwork you got there! And yeah, I tend to use Faber Castelle too. Quality at an affordable price.

Sometimes I like to take screenshots. But only sometimes.

Me too ! But... affordable ? My simple mine pen was 50 bucks instead of 1 for normal pens
Interesting shot Euro! I get the silhouette.
Thanks !

I know right! My box went for like $ 95 - and that was a bargain. However, I only have to get about two boxes for one year so it's not too bad...

I'm not really a pencil brand-expert, but I've seen many pencils that are much pricier. And I don't think Faber's quality can be matched in that price range.

Hmph, I know my father has some featherpens at 300$, but those are quite rare... I would say Montblanc has the best quality of pen.

Tough competition here...

Euro has a screenie with more effort put into it (To get that effect anyway...)

Anarheim has some very damn good use of lighting!

GodPower has gone for a very different pic, only thing is you should have made the image thinner in my opinion :P

Toughest competition would be between HailToTheOboe, SwordOfValor, Lupus, Elrich, Relicradar, The Vandhaal, Brighty and Nightfever.

@Thobus There are a fair few oldies that aren't really recognized, although at their best Yeebaagooon and Out Reach would be able to do well in that group.

The_Vandhaal has also re-opened his forums :P

@BSU - I can't imagine it being very hard to check the Screenshot Gallery to see. And yeah, Yeebaagooon would most certainly fit in that group though as you said, at his best. Reach's shots I don't know much about, will check out.
But that list is made up of the elites in screenshot making, and especially Hail, Vandhaal and Lupus are amazing artists.

Not to discourage screenshot artist today though, some really great shots has been made lately, and more and more promising talents show up, like the one in my vote:

Anraheir

The hell...
For god's sake people. Nobody wants to do music. Next time someone wins, choose something INTERESTING.
Like maybe haunted forests or perhaps sea monsters. I don't know but something that people would want to enter.

What the hell ? You're too young to know what's a CSC theme. Go noob another thread than CSC. I was going to say something else, but for another time I spared you the details.

The more challenging the theme is the better the outcome. That is generally how it works.

Youbar, stop criticizing the community. We have been here longer and know more about how one another work with what themes.

Can agree that the theme might be a little old or unimaginative, but hey it's up to us to make the best out of it!
