Myth of Empires

Documentation: Server setup checklist

Interactive checklist to set up a Myth of Empires server (Steam app 1794810) on Windows with PrivateServerTool, which generates StartPrivateServer.bat. No invented config file: configuration goes through the official tool. Progress is stored locally.

Last updated: 10/9/2026

Open the tool

The Myth of Empires server is configured with PrivateServerTool, a utility shipped with the game (not with SteamCMD) that generates StartPrivateServer.bat. This checklist follows the procedure documented by ZAP-Hosting; the .bat's internal parameters are not documented and we invent none.

How to use the tool

  1. Tick each step; progress is kept in the browser.

  2. Prepare a Windows server and install via SteamCMD.

  3. Copy PrivateServerTool, configure, generate StartPrivateServer.bat.

  4. Open the ports then connect via the Custom Server tab.

Known limits

The configuration files (Game.ini…) and MOEServer.exe's internal arguments are not officially documented; a community panel template cites -server, -PrivateServer, -UseACE, -EnableVACBan=1 and -MultiHome. Use PrivateServerTool rather than hand editing.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to own the game?
SteamCMD works anonymously, but PrivateServerTool comes from the game's local install: you need a copy of the MOE\PrivateServerTool folder.
Are my ticked boxes sent anywhere?
No, only the browser's local storage.
