Knowledge of networking (how a tcp socket works as a server and a client)
C#(or whatever programming language you're wishing to use) knowledge to implement said network
Knowledge of conquer protocols as:
-Cryptography (Passwords, Packets, and Spells) - (Packet encryption can vary for patches)
-Packet structures (Vary for patches)
Knowledge of how the networking and protocol are related (******* common sense, you people hardly have it)
Programming knowledge to implement said protocols in the network and handle them appropriately. That's what a server does - handle data.(Ok to be blunt it handles data in this case, but you get the point)
Once you know those you can figure the rest out.(With or without help)
