NAME
     wargus - Warcraft II data game set for the Stratagus engine

DESCRIPTION
     Wargus  is  data  game  set for Stratagus engine. This is only launcher and
     wrapper for Stratagus, and shares most of its commandline arguments.

     Wargus has specific command line arguments to quickstart a single player
     game.

     -c singleplayer -G map=(path-to-map),type=0,aiplayers=1,ais-
     cripts=(wc2-land-attack|wc2-air-attack|...),[reveal]
	    These arguments start a single player game with one AI opponent  us-
	    ing the selected AI script.

     -c singleplayer -G map=(path-to-map),type=2,aiplayers=2,aiscripts=wc2-land-
     attack:wc2-air-attack
	    These  arguments  start a quick machine vs machine game, pitting the
	    land attack vs the air attack AI. This way of running the  game  can
	    be	very  useful  for  evaluating different AIs quickly against each
	    other, as well as for training external  AI  agents  that  interface
	    through  some other means with the game. This has been used (for ex-
	    ample) to train a reinforcement learning AI to play the game.

     Wargus has specific command line arguments to start multiplayer games:

     -c multiplayer -G server,numplayers=(number),map=(path-to-map)[,dedi-
     cated,race=(orc|human),player=(nick),fow=(1|0),reveal=(0|1),re-
     sources=(low|medium|high),units=1]
	    These arguments start a multiplayer server. It will directly  select
	    the  passed  map  and wait for numplayers players to join and become
	    ready (including the  server),  before  automatically  starting  the
	    game.  The	numplayers  and  map  arguments  are required, the race,
	    player nickname, fow (Fog of war), reveal  (Reveal	map),  resources
	    and  units	options  are  optional. Note that if there are spaces or
	    other characters that must be escaped in the nickname or  map  path,
	    you  must escape them (or enclose the entire argument in quotes). If
	    the dedicated option is passed, the server will itself only be an AI
	    player, and wait for numplayers clients to	connect  (excluding  the
	    server).

     -c multiplayer -G client,ip=(server-ip)[,race=(orc|human),player=(nick)]
	    These arguments start a multiplayer game as client. It will directly
	    join the specified server and announce itself as ready. The ip argu-
	    ment  is  required,  the race and player nickname are optional. Note
	    that if there are spaces or other characters that must be escaped in
	    the nickname, you must escape them (or enclose the	entire	argument
	    in quotes).

     See stratagus(6) for a full list of command line arguments.
