Game 9804039

Both myself and my teamate can't take screenshots? here and an error comes up reading, "Too much information.. cannot take snapshot, sorry"

That happens for maps with too many territories. Same thing for Hive.

As an alternative, take the other type of snapshot (i.e., not in chat) and exchange the information among teammates by other means: screenshots, PMs, team-only game chat describing the situation, and so on.

If it has to do with territories, then why does it work in a quads game but not a Dubs game? Just wonderin

The number of troops on the territories will have a marginal effect as well, because it takes more characters in the chat line to record that, say, there are 100 troops in a territory, rather than 1 troop.
