+<para>Purpose of the &atlantik; board game is to acquire land in major
+cities in North America and Europe while being a transatlantic traveler. To
+win the game, players improve monopolized land with profitable buildings in
+the hopes of bankrupting all other players.</para>
+
+<para>All game modes are served by monopd, a dedicated game server designed
+for &atlantik;. One of the game modes plays like the popular real estate
+board game known as <trademark class="registered">Monopoly</trademark>.</para>

+<title>Connecting to a Server</title>
+
+<para>&atlantik; requires a game server to connect to. If you have an
+Internet connection, you can request a list of public Internet servers and
+you will not require additional software. If you want to play &atlantik;
+locally, on a <acronym>LAN</acronym> or on a private Internet server, you
+can enter the hostname and port to connect to. In this case, you will need
+the <ulink url="http://robertjohnkaper.com/software/atlantik/download.html">
+<command>monopd</command></ulink> server
+software installed and running on the host you are connecting to.</para>
+
+<para>If you have problems connecting to a server, the following troubleshoot
+notes might help you:</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>Try another server. The public server list is updated every
+three minutes, and the server you are trying to connect to might not be
+available any longer.</para>
+</listitem>
+<listitem>
+<para>Check your firewall and masquerading settings. Restrictions might be in
+place preventing you from connecting to servers or receiving reply traffic.
+By default, monopd servers use TCP port 1234. If you're not sure, contact
+your system administrator.</para>
+</listitem>
+<listitem><para>&atlantik; makes use of
+<classname>KExtendedSocket</classname> for network connections, which in
+turn uses <classname>QDns</classname>. This might cause issues with IPv6
+and/or resolving hostnames.</para></listitem>

+<title>Reporting Bugs</title>
+
+<para>If you think you have found a bug in &atlantik;, please report
+it. Developers often catch and fix bugs themselves, but you might
+experience issues not yet known. Not reporting your problems might
+very well prevent them from being fixed indefinitely.</para>
+
+<para>Some bugs might be in the monopd server instead of &atlantik;, but you
+don't need to worry about that: you can report all bugs under the &atlantik;
+package on the <ulink url="http://bugs.kde.org/">&kde; bug
+wizard</ulink>. Use the
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Help</guimenu><guimenuitem>Report
+Bug</guimenuitem></menuchoice> menu item to visit the bug wizard with some
+details of your &atlantik; version filled in automatically.</para>
+
+<para>Please specify details in your bug report, such as game
+conditions. For example, a bug might only occur when people are in jail, or
+during an auction. If possible, save the event log and attach it to the bug
+report or send it to the author. It might contain vital clues about behavior
+that could lead to a faster resolution for the bug.</para>

+<title>Download</title>
+
+<para>&atlantik; is part of &kde; releases and as such the recommended
+releases are those shipped with &kde;, part of the &package; package. Some
+vendors might have individual packages for &atlantik; based on these
+releases.</para>
+
+<para>Users interested in the development version can likewise use the
+standard <ulink url="http://www.kde.org/anoncvs.html">&kde; CVS
+instructions</ulink> to acquire &atlantik; from the kdegames module.</para>
+
+<para>Bleeding edge development requiring the development version of monopd
+is done using arch. For more information on this, or releases in general,
+visit the <ulink

+<question>
+<para>How do I add a computer player?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>Unfortunately, computer opponents are not yet supported by &atlantik;.
+Work is in progress to development a network bot that can connect to
+servers, called Pacifik, but is has
+not yet reached a useful level.</para>
+<para>Users are advised to take advantage of the public
+Internet servers or a private <acronym>LAN</acronym> server.</para>

+<qandaentry>
+<question>
+<para>How do I trade?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>Click on a player portfolio or estate with the &RMB; and you can open
+a trade.</para>
+<para>There are a two usability issues with trades that can cause confusion.
+If you in any way include another player in a trade, that player will get
+the trade window. Any player can reject the terms, which unnecessarily ends
+the trade session for all other players as well. A trade has to be accepted
+by all players in it before it can completed, which can be complicated
+because players remain a participant in deals even when they are no longer
+involved with tradeable items.</para>
