Submission & General Commentary Thread

Hey Finlander!
I haven't seen the non-TW POTW and UESW for a good long while, and I really hope that you are going to bring it back to our competitions. I know it takes a lot of effort just to create new threads every week, and you also have a life to live, so I know it is very hard for you to keep up with everything. However, I have a little suggestion. We can hold non-TW POTW and UESW competitions randomly (it can be monthly, every 2 weeks, etc., it does not necessarily need to be fixed) to replace the regular TW-only POTW and UESW (not permanent, of course), just for a change, and maybe, even more people will take part in these competitions as well, as I have seen many great works from other games. I really hope we can have more participants.
Anyway, keep up the good work, mate!

P/s: sorry for the long post.

I second this. Ive got a non totalwar screen or two i could enter into a UESW.

Absolutely yes. I recall the last time and the only time it ran the competition was surprsingly popular, collecting participators otherwise not seen in the competition corner. It takes a bit more effort to run more competitions but it is just a little addition, wouldn't worry about it, however, the amount of sticky threads is getting extensive and making the sub-section tiring and unappealing to read. I might have to do a bit cleaning on the forum, reducing the stickies by one or two.

For the suggestion.

Awesome! Nice to hear from you!

Hey there, there is a line about that in the UESW rules:

Cropping the screenshot is the only altercation allowed. Adding borders is not allowed and will invalidate the submission.

I am not quite sure what do you mean by a format, you can cut out parts such as lower UI but other than that there isn't much that you are allowed to do.

**_Tartaros_** · May 25, 2015, 03:36 PM

my bad english, but this was my question.
if it´s editing, if i cut out the UI and interfaces of the picture.
thank you for clearing this up

**Finlander** · May 25, 2015, 04:16 PM

Yes Tartaros, that would be allowed.

Any idea, guys, about how I could get rid of that huge compass in the naval battles of NTW and ETW? It's one of the most useless "features" and it forces me to crop out a large part of my screenshot.

I don't have any of these game installed, but I remember there is UI option while you play or look to controls if you can find "Hide UI" key that disable most all UI (even that compass too)

I tried it and, indeed, it hides pretty much everything except for the wind compass.

Anyway, I'll try to search in Steam for a mod that could help me with that issue.

Quite it is been here because no updates since 7th June.

**Conclamatus** · June 21, 2015, 07:42 AM

True. Been singing this song sine

**Finlander** · June 21, 2015, 10:08 AM

I hope you all have had a great Midsummer!

Yeah sorry about that. I think I owe you guys an exmplanation: I was away for a few days having an amazing cottage trip, but certain 'illuminati Bob' (name has been changed to protect his identity) was to be the stand-in guy for the last week's POTW but he forgot it.

After the trip I needed a day off from TWC but the rest of the week was just full of 'outside activities'.

Threads will be up again later today, exactly two weeks since the last one.
