I often to test of my batle mechanics and once I see all I need to see, I scan the battlefield taking pictures. I was surprise how some of them came out. I decided to share them. I don't think they are as good as I seen, but I figure y'all could use some new blood. Plus, I would love to generate renew interest in Empire and specifically Imperial Splendour mod (I know shameless plug). Anyway, would love some feedback- y'all really do a fantastic job- simply amazing stuff!
    Hello nice to c a new face always welcome,....and good shot by the way!

    Yes, I know the feeling when you pause the game and "go in" to have a look around - for your shot - but be warned this is addictive and you will get the victim of yourself - as I barley can play bow a campaign uninterrupted as all the time I stop and lurk around to find the best spot for the perfect angle of the picture!!!...and believe me this fills up your hard disc - as one shot is 4 MB...PNG...



    Gen.Chris.....good job on the 2nd newsletter...you did it again....you hit the nail on the head!...

    Have a good day mate....

    Thank you for continuing the news letter

    If it always be on time I will wait for the letter instead of checking the competitions-section myself in the future.

    GORT HAS SEIZED CONTROL OF THESE COMPETITIONS CALLED "SCREENSHOT AND VIDEOS"

    PICTURES PLEASE GORT. ANYONE WHO DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE PICTURES WILL BE VAPORIZED.

    Clearly this is the Joker's doing...

    I have subdued the Joker and reposted a vote thread for POTW 365. If you have already voted, please do so again.

    Dang, the submissions this week are sooo awesome, can't really decide which to vote.
    I wish school would be a little easier to me, so I can go back to Total-War-Screenshots-taking someday...

    Quick question everyone.

    What would you think about expanding the competition to include a "Non-Total War Picture of the Week/Unedited Screenshot of the Week" competition? Nothing 100% certain here, but I'm trying to get a gauge for if people would like it. Might be a good way to bring in new blood.

    I like that idea as well. Just now I am playing Elder scrolls online so and got some nice screenshots from there as well. So bring it in!

    It would be awesome to have a non-total war competition for screenshots! Hope it goes through.

    Good idea - but why not make it edited? - or just both in one - so the pictures may be unedited or edited - but only one competition. - got me?

    To bring in new blood requires CA to release a new game - as always as they release a game this place here got more competitors....(but now I even don't know what will be their next - out of the Rome 2 series....)

    Anyway just a few suggestions.....

    Have a nice day mates

    It would be same format, Picture of the Week and Unedited Screenshot of the Week. Separate submissions, separate votes.

    The question is whether a new medal should be created...This would increase the chances of getting medals.

    I've been talking with y2day about it. Our main concern is that this might spread the effort out among competitions and weaken them both as people try to do more. And this is while I'm trying to both solidify this competition and also assist the Graphics Competition.

    So we will see. I might try a trial version with this upcoming week. I'll come up with a set of rules that will relate to it, but it will pretty much be the same...You gotta verify you have the original picture for POTW and nothing other than cropping for UESW.

    Syntx.. thanks!

    Chris... I am not in favor. I only knew about this through newscast.... they showed the pictures of the entries and so I thought it could be fun to participate.
    What you really need is more exposure. A cool idea would be to feature the winners in the header. Put the picture and have y2day put the logo on the picture and use that as the "logo" for that week. something like this:

    An alternative.... Keep emblem separate... make smaller and put each winner (smaller version) on either side with the tag line beneath each image. The image themselves can then be a link to the next weeks poll or submission thread.

    I realize this may not be the place to ask this, but it seems I no longer know how to embed videos on my posts. I stick the youtube tags around the youtube link, but I don't get a functioning video. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Using the "insert video" function doesn't seem to work either for me. Has something changed?

    Say you have a link from youtube. Instead of adding the full link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXKrsJZWqK0), only use the bit that comes after "v=", (SXKrsJZWqK0)

    Add that into the Youtube tags, and you get
