.SH NAME
dunelegacy \- Engine for playing Westwood's "Dune II"
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B dunelegacy
[\fIoptions...\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Dune Legacy is an effort by a handful of developers to revitalize the
first-ever real-time strategy game. The original game was the basis for
the hugely successful Command and Conquer series, and the gameplay has
been replicated an extended to a wide variety of storylines and series.
.P
Lead one of three interplanetary houses, Atreides, Harkonnen or Ordos,
in an attempt to harvest the largest amount of spice from the sand
dunes. Exchange your spice stockpiles for credits through refinement and
build an army capable of thwarting attempts of the other houses to stop
your harvesting!
.P
Dune Legacy is a game engine only. To play the game, you must have the
data files (*.PAK) from the original game.

.SH INTERNET MULTIPLAYER
To play online via Internet, you have to manually enable port forwarding
if you use a NAT Router. Forward the Dune Legacy Server Port (Default
is 28747) from your NAT Router to your computer. Use the same port on
your router as configured in Dune Legacy.
.P
Example: If your machine has IP 192.168.123.1 and you're using the
default Dune Legacy Port, than forward port 28747 from your router to
192.168.123.1:28747.
