NAME

       wesnoth - Battle for Wesnoth, a turn-based fantasy strategy game

SYNOPSIS

       wesnoth [OPTIONS] [PATH_TO_DATA]

DESCRIPTION

       Battle for Wesnoth is a turn-based fantasy strategy game.

       Defeat  all  enemy  leaders using a well-chosen cadre of troops, taking
       care to manage your resources of gold  and  villages.  All  units  have
       their own strengths and weaknesses; to win, deploy your forces to their
       best advantage while denying your foes the chance to do  the  same.  As
       units  gain  experience,  they  acquire  new  abilities and become more
       powerful. Play in your own language and test your skill against a smart
       computer  opponent,  or  join  Wesnoth’s  large  community  of  on-line
       players. Create your own custom  units,  scenarios  or  campaigns,  and
       share them with others.

       --bpp number
              sets BitsPerPixel value. Example: --bpp 32

              prints the path of the user configuration directory and exits.

       -d, --debug
              enables additional command mode options in-game  (see  the  wiki
              page   at   http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CommandMode   for   more

       -e, --editor file
              start  the  in-game  map  editor directly. If file is specified,
              equivalent to -e --load

              running at, in a corner of the screen.

              without the .gz suffix. The infile.gz will be removed.

       --gzip infile
              compresses a file in gzip format, stores  it  as  infile.gz  and

Options for --multiplayer

       The side-specific multiplayer options are marked with  number.   number
       has  to  be replaced by a side number. It usually is 1 or 2 but depends
       on the number of players possible in the chosen scenario.

       --algorithmnumber=value
              selects a non-standard algorithm to be used by the AI controller
              for this side. Available values: idle_ai and sample_ai.

       --controllernumber=value
              selects  the  controller  for this side. Available values: human
              and ai.

       --era=value
              use this option to play in  the  selected  era  instead  of  the
              Default  era.  The era is chosen by an id. Eras are described in
              the data/multiplayer/eras.cfg file.

       --exit-at-end
              exits  once   the   scenario   is   over,   without   displaying
              victory/defeat dialog which requires the user to click OK.  This
              is also used for scriptable benchmarking.

       --nogui
              runs the game without the GUI. Must appear before  --multiplayer
              to have the desired effect.

       --parmnumber=name:value
              sets additional parameters for this side. This parameter depends
              on the options  used  with  --controller  and  --algorithm.   It
              should  only  be  useful for people designing their own AI. (not
              yet documented completely)

       --scenario=value
              selects a multiplayer scenario by id. The default scenario id is
              multiplayer_The_Freelands.

       --sidenumber=value
              selects  a faction of the current era for this side. The faction
              is  chosen  by  an   id.   Factions   are   described   in   the
              data/multiplayer.cfg file.

       --turns=value
              sets the number of turns for the chosen scenario. The default is
              50.
