_∴ 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 ∴_

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.

@hoodedwarbler12
Be careful with your Album URL. "AOM Screenshots" contains a space, that is replaced by the code in hex (%�20). However, when using the HTML tags, the URL gets broken. My trick is to replace the space by another character, or simply remove it. I fixed the error by uploading your image on another site, but I won't do it anymore.

I like hoodedwarbler's idea behind the screenshot the most, but the eyecandy leaves something to be desired.

FrozenUser's screenshot has some very good eyecandy, but the blue terrain (or blue sky) at the top right corner doesn't look right at all, which kind of ruins the screenshot.

Zenophobia, your screenshot had the most potential to win this round, but the landscape just looks too barren. After all, who would invent and test the wheel right in the dessert?

Vote: Zenophobia

Why?

Frozen the Hades gate looks a bit... out of place :P Its a nice idea but for an improvement it doesnt really suit the theme to me, the Hades gate would need re-texturing before it would look right.

Hooded your eyecandy is lacking a bit, but it was indeed a nice screenshot!

Zenophobia I voted for yours due to the nice idea with the wheel, and how you carried it out too! I really like the screenshot and it is quite representative.

BSU_DoLhades, that's the point. The hades gate is supposed to be a rough cut, because the renovation has only recently started.

Euro, you broke the forum table as you still had a table code open and needed extra HTML to close it. Check the thread after you edit it and modify your template if you have one to stop it happening again.
Fixed it for you.

Thanks, Yeeb, but now there are some broken tables in the thread... I didn't check after editing, but the problem is that I can't preview without copy-pasting, or else some codes disappear.

Damn, I have so much trouble to find the breach. What was the place on which you added/modified a table ? What was the mistake ? I don't have any text backup of the older version.
