NAME

       widelands - A real-time build-up strategy game

SYNOPSIS

       widelands <option0>=<value0> ... <optionN>=<valueN>

DESCRIPTION

       In  this  game, you start out on a small piece of land with nothing more than a few useful
       resources. Using  those,  you  can  build  yourself  an  empire  with  many  thousands  of
       inhabitants.  On  your  way  towards  this  goal,  you  will  have to build up an economic
       infrastructure, explore the land around you and face enemies who are trying  to  rule  the
       world just like you are.

LONG DESCRIPTION

       In  Widelands,  you  are  the regent of a small tribe. You start out with nothing but your
       headquarters, a kind of castle in which all your resources are stored. During  the  course
       of the game, you will build an ever growing settlement. Every member of your tribe will do
       his or her part to produce more resources - logs, food, iron, gold and more -  to  further
       this growth.  But you are not alone in the world, and you will meet other tribes sooner or
       later. Some of them may be friendly and trade with you. However, if you want to  rule  the
       world, you will have to train soldiers and fight.

       Widelands  offers a unique style of play. For example, a system of roads plays the central
       role of your economy: all the goods that are harvested and processed by the tribe must  be
       transported  from  one building to the next.  This is done by carriers, and those carriers
       always walk along the roads. It is your job  to  lay  out  the  roads  as  efficiently  as
       possible.

       Another refreshing aspect of the game is the way you command your tribe.  There is no need
       to tell every single one of your subjects what to do - that would be  impossible,  because
       there  can  be  thousands  of them! Instead, all you've got to do is order them to build a
       building somewhere, and the builders will come.  Similarly, whenever you want to attack an
       enemy,  just  place an order to attack one of their barracks, and your soldiers will march
       to fight.  You're really a ruler: You delegate in times of war and in times of peace!

       Widelands offers a single-player mode with campaigns; the campaigns all tell the story  of
       a  tribe and its struggle in the Widelands universe!  However, settling really starts when
       you unite with friends over the Internet or LAN to build up new empires together -  or  to
       crush each other in the dusts of war.  Widelands also offers an artificial intelligence to
       challenge.

       Widelands is extensible, so you can create your own type of tribe with their own  sets  of
       buildings.  You  can  create new worlds to play in, and you could even create new types of
       worlds (who says you can't build a settlement on the moon?).
