How Do I Post a Screen Shot/Screen Capture?

Posting Screen Shots

IF YOU ARE ATTACKED::

For ALL attacks, please immediately post the battle report to the group wall.

This document explains how to take screenshots for the group wall using Windows XP, Vista or 7, and Mac OS X.

Make sure your image file-type is a .JPG or .PNG file (e.g "battlereport.jpg") to ensure it's compatibility with Facebook's photo uploader. It is possible to change the file-type upon saving your file.

Windows XP
  1. On your keybpard, press ctrl+"Prt Sc" (you might need to use Fn key as well, if your Prt Sc button is colored blue on your notebook keyboard), which will send an image of your current active window to the clipboard (like copy & pasting text, but with images instead).
  2. Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint, go to the Edit menu and click Paste, or you can use the keyboard shortcut ctrl+V
  3. You may crop the image so only useful information is included (first Select rectangle of usefull area then click on Edit > Crop), or use any tool to obsure your coords if you wish.
  4. Click File > Save As. In the box that pops up, change the "Save As Type" to .PNG or .JPG, and name your image. Save the file in a place of your choice (e.g Desktop).
  5. Upload the image on the group wall as you would any other photo.

Windows Vista or 7
  1. Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Snipping Tool, click New, and make rectangle around area you wish to capture.
  2. Save the image as .JPG or .PNG, in a place of your choice (e.g Desktop).
  3. Upload the image on the group wall as you would any other photo.

Mac OS X
  1. On your keyboard, press Command+Shift+4, then select an area (e.g your Battle Report or a message from another player) to take a screenshot of that area. 
  2. Save the image as .JPG or .PNG, in a place of your choice (e.g Desktop).
  3. Upload the image on the group wall as you would any other photo.


LoS requires all members to post a copy of a battle report when members are attacked - or NO retaliation will take place.

Serpent Eggs and Upgrades

Angry Lemming Alert:  KABAM updates; it's a love/hate relationship.


To be sure, you will have difficulties logging in while they are updating. You can expect game errors and weird glitches. The wilderness surrounding your city may all show as un-owned. Never fear! Kabam will fix it. (Really. Eventually. We suggest keeping this link handy when you need to put in a ticket: http://kabam.custhelp.com/app/ask)










The most recent fuss is over the Serpent Egg. It isn't found in the wilds yet but you can purchase it in the shop.

Meanwhile, we are left with the usual upgrade woes. Let's use common sense, please:


  1. If someone steals your wilds, assume that the wild was showing as vacant. Message them.
  2. If someone claims that you stole their wilds, assure them that those wilds showed as vacant (unless you're an asshole and took advantage of the usual upgrade woes - more power to you!)
