Sorry if this has been answered before, I did not find any info in the FAQ or a search…

Shift+Cmd+3 (or shift+cmd+4, the standard OS X screen capture hotkey) sort of works, it saves a image, but it's all garbled…

If you try it enough times sometimes you'll get a pretty clear image...

Another option is Snapz Pro (http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/) which can even capture movies of battles if that's your thing. It's not a free program, but there is a 30-day free trial so if you just wanted screenshots for a particular or limited reason.

Trying to write about the game but really need the screenshots to do it proper justice.

Use ctrl-tab to get into windowed mode, and then go to your Utilities folder and find an app called Grab. Grab is installed automatically when you install 10.x
