NAME

       pioneers - network implementation of Settlers of Catan

SYNOPSIS

       pioneers [ --server server ] [ --port port ] [ --name name ]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the pioneers command.

       Pioneers  is  an  implementation of the popular, award-winning "Settlers of Catan" board game for the GNOME desktop environment.  It uses a
       client/server model for networked play of between two and eight players.  You will need to connect to a machine	running  either  pioneers-
       server-gtk or pioneers-server-console to play.  An AI client, pioneersai, is also available.

OPTIONS

       Pioneers accepts the standard GTK+/GNOME commandline options, and the following options:

       -s, --server server
	      Hostname of the server

       -p, --port port
	      Portname of the server

       -n, --name name
	      Use this name for the player instead of the name in the settings file

       -v, --spectator
	      Connect as spectator instead of as a player

       -m, --meta-server meta-server
	      Connect to this meta-server instead of the meta-server in the settings file

       --debug
	      Turn on debugging mode

       --version
	      Show the version and quit

       When the server and port are both provided, the client automatically quits when the connection is broken.

ENVIRONMENT

       The default settings can be influenced with the following environment variable:

       PIONEERS_META_SERVER
	      The hostname of the meta-server.	If it is not set, the default meta-server will be used.

FILES

       /usr/share/games/pioneers/themes/*
	      Themes for display of the map. Each theme goes in a separate subdirectory.
       /usr/share/pixmaps/pioneers/*
