Specify this number when configuring games. If your computer is behind a router you will need to make sure the port is forwarded. It is also helpful to configure a static IP address so the routing stays consistent. Consult your router documentation for instructions. ## Game Configuration -Your game configuration is stored in key=value format in a properties file. Copy `default.properties` to a safe location and edit as needed. `mapfile` should reference the filename of a map either in the same location as the properties file or in *your* `~/dominions4/maps` directory.
