DESCRIPTION

14       This manual page documents briefly the pioneers-editor command.
15
16       Pioneers  is  an implementation of the popular, award-winning "Settlers
17       of Catan" board game for the GNOME  desktop  environment.   It  uses  a
18       client/server  model  for networked play of between two and eight play‐
19       ers.  You will need to connect to a machine  running  either  pioneers-
20       server-gtk  or pioneers-server-console to play.  An AI client, pioneer‐
21       sai, is also available.
22
23       Pioneers-editor can be used to create new board layouts.   Clicking  on
24       the  plus  and  minus  signs on the side of the board will increase and
25       decrease the board size respectively.  Left clicking on a  tile  allows
26       to  select the terrain type; Middle or right clicking allows setting of
27       the chit number or port type and orientation.  The chit number can also
28       be set by pressing the number key(s) while the pointer is hovering over
29       the tile.
30
31       In the settings tab, several game settings can be adjusted.

PLAYING

35       Games created with pioneers-editor can be played with  pioneers-server-
36       gtk  and  pioneers-server-console,  if they are installed in the global
37       game directory.  Alternatively,  they  can  be  played  with  pioneers-
38       server-console, by using the --file option.

BUGS

53       Pioneers allows no-setup nodes, where settlements cannot be placed dur‐
54       ing the setup phase.  Pioneers-editor is not able to  set  such  nodes.
55       As  a workaround, they can be added manually to the game file as a last
56       editing step.
