Before opening ports, you should attempt to use AOM/ESO with just your default router configuration since this is what works for most people (and also make sure you have upgraded your router to the latest drivers/firmware.) AOM uses UDP port 2300 by default for in game traffic (which might also equate to UDP port 64520 depending on how your router is set up - safest bet is to just open both - In other words, on your router set trigger, inbound and outbound to UDP port 2300 and then do the same for UDP port 64520) You can override this though and make AOM use whatever port you want by adding this to the command line/shortcut for the game: hostPort=XXXX Where XXXX is the port you want the game to use for all its in-game traffic. - You can also try putting your machine on the DMZ, but this should only be a last resort as AOM was designed to work without the need for a DMZ setting.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
