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       one  to select the terrain type; Middle or right clicking allows one to
27       set the chit number or port type and orientation.  The chit number  can
28       also be set by pressing the number key(s) while the pointer is hovering
29       over the tile.

31       In the settings tab, several game settings can be adjusted.

38       server-console, by using the --file option.
