Thanks, guys!
I always appreciate your support. Guys like you have been the reason I keep posting and why I've grown to enjoy taking and playing around with screens.

In this case, I switched my primary GEM shader from 'realistic' to 'colorful'. The Alexandria city map, plus the Ptolemaic and Seleucid units really brought out the color vibrancy that I was hoping for. Though, I'll keep playing with it.

Looking forward to see what you guys have been cooking up as well! The last several pages of screens have been fire. It would be nice to see if some of these got included in the mod. Although the original artwork used in the current loading screens are very nice, wouldn't it be cool if the loading screens were exclusively screens from the DeI community showcasing the beautiful units of DeI?!?!?

Amazing shots DMW.

Dang those are good! DWM is right, the last few weeks of posts have been amazing from everyone here.

Badass screenies, Chereye.

Hi there, just a few screens.

I got to say I'm really liking where you're going color-wise, Alex. Like a week ago you had this bright pop-art aesthetic, but now it's taking on an almost painting-like quality that is really awesome. Keep experimenting with that, because I want to see more!

What was that, Jake? How do you know what the fight between me and my ego looks like? It's unthinkable.)

Are you sure you have uploaded all your pics? I can see with the edit button that some of them failed

Thanks guys I'll try to keep it up but I think I'm pretty bad at taking screen shots, I don't really know how to get those cool kill animations (plus I was using the faster battle submod so was a bit hard to find time to take screenies).

Yeah I did have trouble loading them, its been about 1 n' half years since I used these forums.

@ Alexander78 I really like the first screenshot you took, I'm guessing that's the hd romans submod? Does that also make all the other units in hd? If so I really need to start using that mod. Also can you take a screenie of the settings you use for GEM? Would help me a lot.

Heres a few screenies of a 15 thousand man battle, which really just turned into a huge mosh pit:

Also heres a screenie I took of a custom battle where I was testing my Gem setting (really think I nailed it) but it was 2 years ago and back then GEM was constantly updating and I lost those perfect settings and could never really regain that magic.

Better yet, you can download his GEM preset. It's on the OP.

Indeed. I really like his more recent palette

Here's a tip, don't use faster battles Plus, the more experienced your troops are, the more your kill-rates increase together with badass animations.

If you need any help just let me know

I tried Alex's GEM settings but just wasn't to my liking, seemed to look much different from his screenies.

Skotos, Strategos thank you very much for your kind words, I really appreciate your opinion. Skotos, my friend, you know my attitude to your screens and your creativity, keep up the good work!
@Chereye
I use not only GEM but also ReShade. Plus graphic mods. Maybe in this difference, I use Orbis Terrarum and Aztec Lighting mod. The first page of this thread contains two of my presets, one for Orbis and the other for Aztec. Both of these presets contain GEM+ReShade settings, and ReShade settings are built into GEM and if you do not have ReShade installed and you do not use any of the graphic mods that I listed above, then your picture will be different from mine. Gamma and brightness you can adjust to your liking. Later, I will drop you a PM, where I will detail how to customize the graphics, I have to wonder, what happens. And of course, you will place your screens here after that.)

Great, mate! About DoF I have only one question-why didn't you use it before? Well done. You're improving at a speed that any Formula1 car would envy.) Don't slow down!

[Skotos of Sinope]

Speechless as always, DMW. (And as you know, I dug the ones you posted on discord as well.) Shallow depth of field requires a lot of skill to pull off. Much of the time people overdo it and everyone in the frame ends up looking tiny like they're war-gaming miniatures. But this is extremely well done. You're making me want to try going from true color shader to realistic.
