Very well done Aeneas2020, keep up the awesome pictures.

**JulietPapaOscar** · May 17, 2012, 12:16 PM

Amazing Job Aeneas!!!! What map is that? What would you say the estimate troop counts are? Coz those shots are epicly epic!

**Aeneas2020** · May 17, 2012, 04:45 PM

it's actually the Finland map for Vanilla ETW

the reason i used it was because it provides a good mix of trees and wide open spaces with good lighting. I need to do some with ACW maps so i can get some nice fences in etc. The map was 4v4 with the stacks 3/4 full. Not sure on the troop count exactly but it was pretty big. I have my computer maxed out, i'm pretty nerdy with it, but it did chug a little at times. I'll get a troop count and edit this post when i get one. Thanks for the comments.

Edited: Ok there were about 15,000+ troops in the battle, my exact math puts the number closer to 16,500 lol. The pics in question only show about 1/4 of the battle at a time, even the wide far out ones....I simply couldn't get a good shot across the entire map with all the units. I'm going to try that now actually

The problem is getting the AI to co-operate.

**Aeneas2020** · May 17, 2012, 06:20 PM

Ok so this is what a 16,000+ battle looks like but i wanted to explain a couple of things:

So firstly if you look at the shot called "wide view" this is what the battle looks like. Nothing too interesting right? Trust me it is much more interesting in motion.

But the thing i love about TW games is that the closer you zoom in the more little stories you get.

Take a look at "Crossroads" This is a medium view with probably about 5000 guys involved. Already it provides a much more epic and compelling scene even though the number of units is considerably less. Still part of the same battle.

Finally:
"The Charge"
"The Melee"
"Holding the line"
are all examples of close up shots. Again the closer you get to the action the more detail that comes out and seemingly the bigger the battle is.

I love taking pics of all TW games simply because of the stories a single 1v1 single unit each encounter cane make. Anyway glad you guys like the pics.
