Whenever I take a screenshot, it always clears the screen of all text and things (or in the case of my map, it wipes the cities), and I was wondering how to turn this off. I have seen people with their text and interface in screenies.

Thanks in advance

If you hit PrntScrn only (and do not hold down the Shift or Ctrl key...I always forget which...) you should get the stuff on the screen as is.

I have been hitting print screen only... but maybe it's the other way around

Edit: Just tried it. If you hold down alt or ctrl while taking the shot, it keeps everything onscreen

I don't know if the game mimick's windows in this function but holding the alt key and hiting the print screen key captures the active window as opposed to everything. Does the game store the image somewhere (some games do this, CoD for example) or do you have to hop out and past it into an image editor?
