+Setting up a TMW server
+=======================
+
+The compilation should produce two binaries: tmwserv-account and
+tmwserv-game.
+
+Run tmwserv-account on one single computer. It will open three
+consecutive UDP ports, starting from the one given by the configuration
+option "accountServerPort" (default value: 9601). This first port is the
+one you should give to your users.
+
+Run tmwserv-game on multiple computers. Each game server will open one
+UDP port given by the configuration option "gameServerPort" (default
+value: 9604). It will also connect to the account server given by the
+configuration options "accountServerAddress" (default value: localhost)
+and "accountServerPort". The configuration option "gameServerAddress"
+should contain the public address of the computer the server runs on, as
+it will be sent to the users. The file data/maps.xml contains the maps
+the server will load and register on the account server; split it
+across your multiple game servers, in order to balance the load.
