_____ 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.

Photobucket is the best and most reliable host, they do not delete any images, I have several accounts there. Anraheir seems to move the pictures around inside his account, which causes the links to break.

Anraheir if you read this, don't move (or delete... haha) the picture after uploading. The best thing is to upload it right into the folder in which it is supposed to stay.

That still doesn't change the fact that you started the voting session very late than the planned date.

Anyways, if I had to vote for my competitors, it would be...Necr0maNceR!

Man, I just realized how much better my shot would be with Proper lighting. In fact, I think the next theme should be Improvement.

Congratulations, Zenophobia.

What did you guys like and dislike about my shot? It's definitely different than your typical shot. I used a new technique that I recently figured out.

The guy laying against the tree is Arkantos in his resting animation. The ground below him is a ship (I don't remember which one) that I enlarged a lot. The lines are five more ships that I stretched long and thin. The notes are composed of a TON of tiny fire giants that have been rotated and tilted into position. The colors are obviously the player colors of those two players. I made the silhouettes appear by obscuring every square inch of the screen with mine wall pieces. I had to use a ton of mine wall pieces, since just using one big one would not work. Buildings would not leave silhouettes, which is why I had to use weird things like boats and fire giants.

I loved your shot necromancer! But I thought the song was kinda boring, and I didn't recognize arkantos until after I voted >.>

Also, I really loved zenophobia's shot, I think the title adds a lot to the 'flavor' of the shot, which I really like.

I see what you did there... we use very similar techniques
You would have get my vote, but unfortunatly, as OP, I can only use that when a tie comes...
Man, I just realized how much better my shot would be with Proper lighting.
Yeah... it would have been cool.

Tomb Renovation



A queen (Amanra), who is a descendant of an ancient king, is dissatisfied with the current condition of her ancestor's tomb and orders a total renovation of it. She appoints an elderly yet experienced architect and overseer (Skult) to spearhead the renovation. He hires Greek construction workers because he believes that they're the best in the world. Things may not go as planned however...

On the side of the queen and the overseer is a scale model of the final results of the refurbished tomb.

I would enter with something, though I've tried and have become bored before, if not for the virus that forced me to reset my computer to its "factory settings".
All the files are still here, but the registry information has been reset, so I have to reinstall everything. Now I don't have the effort to reinstall AoM now that I play Minecraft and got an Xbox.
I guess I'll reinstall eventually, but eh

It started with a low light; Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed
And then they took my blood type; It left a strange impression in my head.
You know that I was hoping; That I could leave this star-crossed world behind
But when they cut me open; I guess I changed my mind.
