Myth of Empires: Connecting to and setting up your server

How to connect to your Myth of Empires server and find the automatically generated RCON password.

Here you'll learn how to connect to your Myth of Empires server and change the most important settings.

Connecting

  1. Start the server on the server page with Start.
  2. Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
  3. In the game, connect via the multiplayer menu or direct connect using the address (IP:Port) at the top of your server page.

Important settings

  • Server name (SERVER_NAME) – the displayed name.
  • Max. players (MAX_PLAYERS) – how many players can join.
  • Enable PvP (PVP) – 1 = on, 0 = off.
  • Map (MAP_NAME) – the map on start.
  • Admin IDs (ADMIN_IDS) – Steam IDs of the admins.
  • Additional parameters (EXTRA_FLAGS) – further startup parameters, each starting with “-”.

Changes to the Startup variables take effect on the next restart.

Good to know

  • The RCON password (RCON_PASSWORD) is generated automatically by the portal during setup. It is shown once at the top of the server page – please make a note of it. You can change it in the Startup variables tab.
  • On first start, the server downloads the game files. This can take a few minutes – please don't interrupt it.
