DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the flags that you can give to
       stratagus , formerly known as FreeCraft, formerly known as ALE Clone.

       stratagus is a powerful game engine for building realtime strategy
       games, a la AoE or Warcraft.

OPTIONS
       A summary of options is included below.

       -c file.lua
              Choose a different stratagus start config file.

       -d datapath
              Choose a different directory to use for game data files.

       -D depth
              Set the video mode depth, often called 'bpp' or 'bits per
              pixel'. This option is only valid for Win32/NT.

       -e     Start the editor included in Stratagus.

       -E     Choose a different editor config file.

       -F     With this option you can start Stratagus in full screen video
              mode.

       -h     Show summary of all options.

       -I addr
              With this option you can specify the network address for network
              play.

       -l     Disable command log messages.

       -L lag This sets the network lag in number of frames (default 10 = 333
              ms).

       -n server
              With this option you can specify the network server host for
              network play.

       -N name
              The name of the player (will appear in network games).

       -O     Use OpenGL or OpenGL ES 1.1.

       -o     Do not use OpenGL or OpenGL ES 1.1.

       -P port
              With this option you can set the network port to use in network
              games.  The default value is port udp/6660.

       -s number
              Number of frames before AI awakes. This is useful if the AI is
              beating you hard, and you want to make it sweet like a cat. The
              higher, the easier will be the game against the AI. Default is
              to sleep 0 time frames.

       -S number
              Sync speed (100 = 30 frames/s).

              With this option you can specify the network update rate in #
              frames (default 5=6x per s).

       -v mode
              With this option you can specify video mode resolution in format
              <xres>x<yres>

NOTES
       Stratagus needs a lot of data (maps and artwork), that can come from
       external datasets, like Battle of Survival (BoS), or even from the
       media in the Warcraft II CD, thanks to the Wargus dataset.

       Warcraft II is a registered trademark of Blizzard Entertainment.
