Online mode

For the online mode, the main server is located in France, so anyone too far away might have trouble playing.

The only way to resolve this is to make your own server in your country. That is why windows and linux binaries for Legion Online's server is included. The server automatically connects to the main listing server which will make your own server visible and accessible to everyone playing the game.

The server runs by default on port 4235. A .bat would show you how to use the server's arguments.
