Make sure AoW3.exe is added to the exception rules and public access is enabled.

Some routers have additional firewall settings make sure TCP port 14800 isn’t blocked. Manually Forward a Port on Your Router: Login on your router and forward TCP port 14800 to the local IP of your computer.If your router supports this then enable this setting and the game will auto configure your router. Enable UPnP on Your Router: This is the preferred option as UPnP is a protocol that automates port forwarding to your computer.From v1.091 onward we also support multiplayer via VPN software such as Hamachi, please see the VPN Multiplayer guide. When the game tells you that your connection is not properly setup the problem is most likely that your router blocks all incoming connections. Age of Wonders uses a P2P networking model and this requires that other users can connect to your computer.
