## Description

ageLANServer with a BattleServer included: LAN server emulator for Age of Empires: DE (AoE1), Age of Empires II: DE (AoE2), Age of Empires III: DE (AoE3), Age of Empires IV (AoE4), and Age of Mythology: Retold (AoM). It runs the game's own BattleServer.exe (which you provide) inside the container, which AoE4 and AoM require. It includes Wine, so the download is about 1.3 GB. If you only play AoE, AoE II or AoE III, the ageLANServer template is enough. Each container instance serves one game.

## Platform availability

Available on 1 of 9 platforms: Unraid.

## Common questions

### Do I need the BattleServer container for every Age of Empires title?

Only Age of Empires IV and Age of Mythology: Retold require the game's own BattleServer.exe. For AoE, AoE II, or AoE III, the regular ageLANServer template is enough.

### Can one container host multiple game titles at once?

No. Each container instance serves one game.

### Can I play when the official servers are down?

Yes, it provides lobbies without an internet connection to the game server. You may still need a custom launcher to bypass the game's online-only restriction.

### Is Age of Mythology: Retold available for Xbox players?

Currently only the Steam version of Age of Mythology: Retold is supported.
