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, --metaserver metaserver

Connect to this metaserver instead of the metaserver 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.
