Rise of Nations requires that the 34987/UDP DirectPlay port be open to play a Local Area Network (LAN) or Direct Internet multiplayer game. If you are the administrator of the network, view the documentation that is provided with your networking software to determine how to open these ports. To make sure that these ports are open or to open these ports, contact your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).
There is also a Direct-IP option, allowing non-networked players to connect without the use of GameSpy.Ĭross platform play is not supported between Windows and Mac users. The LAN networking, implemented on both platforms, provides a system for people on the same network to play together. On Mac OS X, Rise of Nations uses GameRanger as a matchmaking service.
The Extended Edition uses Steam for matchmaking and game lobbies. On Microsoft Windows Rise of Nations initially used the GameSpy matchmaking service (which is no longer running), and also works with GameRanger. The scripts are able to be made in the built in script editor, and came with a pre-made script that disallowed silos. A new feature that was introduced into the game was the ability to use homemade scripts in online play.
Up to eight players can play in a game with a variety of modes to choose from, with AI filling spots at the server host's choice. Rise of Nations features a highly customizable multiplayer mode.
