NAME

   lordsawar-import - Transfer your scenarios from Warlords II

SYNOPSIS

   lordsawar-import [OPTION...] [FILE]
   lordsawar-import [OPTION...] [DIRECTORY]

DESCRIPTION

   This  tool  converts  Warlords II .SCZ files into LordsAWar! map files.
   Alternatively this tool can operate on a directory  that  contains  the
   unpacked  SCZ  file.   In  particular, the directory must contain .SCN,
   .ITM, .RD, .MAP, .SPC, and .SGN files.

   No attempt is made to import the graphics from the Warlords scenario.

   This tool does not support the importing of .SZP files, or  saved  game
   files.

   The  resulting file is saved as the basename of your FILE or directory,
   with a .map extension added.  For example, if you converted a directory
   called ERYTHEA/, the converted file will be called ERYTHEA.map.

OPTIONS

   -a, --army-file FILE
          Use  this  Warlords  2 army file.  It is a .DAT file, 1798 bytes
          long.

   -h, --help
          Give this help list.

BUGS

   The bottommost row of converted scenarios can often have errors on it.

   Unfortunately this tool does not import the contents of cities  --  the
   cities themselves will be imported, but they won't have any armies that
   can be produced.

   Ruin defenders are not imported, and neither are  the  rewards  (items)
   that can be found inside ruins.
