press the print screen key on your keyboard (Prt Sc)

Open up a paint editing program (Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, etc.)

Make a new image and paste from the clip board (Ctrl+V)

Save the image

I've asked this question before but GalCivII DL or DA does not support any ingame feature to make this possible. Squibit's option works but gets really tiresome if you want to make more than 1 or 2 screenshots. Frogboy gave me the advice to test this program out which I allready had installed to make some ingame movie's with World of Warcraft.

Download a program called 'Fraps' on www.fraps.com.

Install Fraps and let it run while playing the game. Check the tab 'screenshots' and specify the folder where you want your screenshot to be saved.

Select a 'Screen Capture Hotkey' and voila.

Now select whatever screen you want to make a screenshot of and press the key you have selected above. Now Fraps saved a nice picture for you in your specified folder.

I hope this helps.
