Picture Wars is a forum game in which players wages war, build cities, forge alliances and much more on fully destructible battlefields. Players use their own armies in all sorts of different matches and scenarios. Players sprite their own armies and come up with their own gameplay mechanics.

Some example matches:

A match between The Vron (evil hive aliens) and Geisha's

A match between the Goblins and the Snozwangers

A match between the Coco's (orange guys) and the DrII republic (evil communist robots)

It doesn't stop with 1v1 battles though, you can play with almost any amount of players.

It isn't all regular battles either, you can have zombie infestations, building a city and much more.

Q&A
Q:What do I need to play Picture Wars?
A: You only need a basic image editing program capable of saving images as .png files. Most users just use regular MS Paint, though Photoshop, GIMP or something else work as well. Paint will cover your needs most of the time though.

Q:I don't have any spriting experience, is it hard?
A:Well, you don't need any experience to start out. We have some excellent tutorials, the mods and other members are always ready to give you tips and provide assistance.

I love this game, but it gets rather tedious after a while.

I actually forgot about this until you posted it. :p

Thanks! :D

  • The Helper The Helper:
    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before
  • The Helper The Helper:
    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    I think I need to split the Sci/Tech news forum into 2 one for Science and one for Tech but I am hating all the moving of posts I would have to do
