This has always been a pain because your ISP blocks ports so you don't run game/web servers (also security I guess, but that's an after effect), also your router will not automatically know where to forward ports to either and might even just drop some traffic if it's not part of an existing connection.

I assume dominions ports aren't documented properly in the manual but I'm sure someone has figured out what ports you need to forward from your router to get a game going.

Thats the easiest part! I just opened a port on my router lke in the old times. The difficult part is that you need to have a dedicated host client open AND a client that you play on open. Steam doesnt like this of course and it impacts your CPU and such.

So you need to open a command line text box client to run the session as host and then open the game proper and connect to yourself while your friends connect to your ip.
