I'm aware of that patch, which also removes the splash/About.
There are GNOCATAN env variables and the default server name
left, though, and overall I'm not sure whether maintaining the
patch will be _safe_ in the future as long as upstream mentions
the trademarks in several places, e.g. in translations and help.

$ rpmdev-extract pioneers-0.11.3-1.fc8.i386.rpm 
$ find pioneers-0.11.3-1.fc8/usr/share/locale | xargs strings | grep -i -e
'Siedler\|Settlers'

You may argue that these are "not user-visible" when the patch
removes the trademarks from all English strings. But you would
need to control all future translations, too, or just hope that
none of them will ever be user-visible.

U.S. jurisdiction may be different. The legal background is
