Where are the loading screens located?

I'm curious, where can I find the image files displayed below? I kind of like them, and would love to have a few printed and framed for my "Office" in the attic

Splash screens are usually written in source code and compiled. I don't think there's any way to get them out of there without the source code.

I like them, too.

I strongly doubt they are in the source code, they must be in one of the textures pack (.fpk files). Someone crated a nice tool to unpack them, I can't remember its name though.

Besides the script built into Nexus, there is a third party tool for unpacking all kinds of games' resources, including CiV: Dragon UnPACKer (Note: I've never used it)

Ah! Thank you, this is the tool I was thinking about. Far better than nexus. After that I used XNview to browse the dds files.

Awesome! Ended up using Dragon Unpacker to extract the files. They were located in the Expansion1UITextures.fpk file, and called loading_1.dds thru loading_19.dds as whoward69 mentioned. The only exception is that there is no loading_12.dds file there, its simply missing.

Then, I had to use dds_converter 2.1 to convert the files into a printable format, and voila! Now I got them all, just waiting for monday so I can get em printed!

Thanks for the hints guys!
