💖 LGENERAL(6) — bestie edition 💖

okay so you opened the User Commands section of the manual, section 6, and it's all about LGeneral 🌸 — yes that's the whole name, that's the title, we're here, we made it.

✨ NAME ✨

LGeneral — a turn-based strategy game engine. that's it. that's the vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lgeneral [options] [resource-file]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so LGeneral is a strategy game engine and it is heavily inspired by Panzer General — like, obsessed-with-it levels of inspired, no cap. 🎀

you play either single scenarios or whole campaigns, turn by turn, going head to head against a human player or against the AI. your call, your main character era. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --ai-debug=<loglev> — sets the verbosity level of debug messages for the AI turn. more logs, more lore. 🦋
  • --campaign-start=<state> — the initial state you want to start the campaign with. this one is debug only, so it's giving "i'm poking at the internals" energy. 🙈
  • --control=<who> — who controls the current side. <who> is either human or cpu (short versions: h or c). you can pass this multiple times! and the way that works is: the first option = the first side, the second option = the second side, etc. etc. lineup goes in order, periodt. 💫
  • --(no-)deploy-turn — allow or disallow deployment of troops before the scenario starts. --deploy-turn = yes deploy, --no-deploy-turn = nope, hold them back. 🌈
  • --(no-)purchase — enable or disable the option for purchasing by prestige. and if you disable it, the predefined reinforcements get used instead. so like, no shopping spree for you, you get what you get. 🛍️
  • --notitle — inhibits the title screen. straight to business, no intro, skipping the cinematic bestie. ⭐
  • --speed=<n> — accelerates the animation speed by <n>. zoom zoom. 🔥
  • --version — displays version information and quits. short and sweet, knows when to leave. 💜
  • <resource-file> — your scenario file, relative to the scenarios-directory, or your campaign file, relative to the campaigns-directory, both of which live under /usr/share/games/lgeneral. 📁

✨ SEE ALSO ✨
