Screenshots

[Inspector Javert]

Two quick questions

1st. Does the game save screen shots when you press the "Print Screen" button

2nd. Where does the game save these shots if they indeed take them (I downloaded mine on Steam)

Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes, it does make screenshots, it will put them somewhere into My Documents\My Games\Civ5, there must be a screenshots folder then, or something equivalent.
The format will be .tga, so if you want to use them in forums you#ll have to reformat them.

Other option would be to use F12 to make screenshots which directly get uploaded to Steam, but the key clashes with Civ5 ingame functions, there's also the quickload on F12.

Now the question becomes how do I change the format their in? I can't upload them to photobucket...

Just open them with an image program and save them as .jpg or .png.
In case you don't have a program which can open .tgas, then i'd suggest IrfanView. It's free and a really nice tool (use it myself as standard image program).
