> Mordhau's flexibility allows you to host a server that switches between high-intensity **Invasion** matches and relaxing **Horde** defense rounds automatically. Because the configuration is sensitive to formatting, this guide outlines the exact syntax required to ensure your rotation never skips a beat.

## 1. Syntax and Prefixes

Map strings in `Game.ini` must be prefixed with their respective gamemode. Using an incorrect prefix (e.g., using `FL_` on a map that only supports `FFA`) will cause the match to fail to load.

| Prefix    | Gamemode   | Map Example      |
| :-------- | :--------- | :--------------- |
| **FL\_**  | Frontline  | `FL_Camp`        |
| **INV\_** | Invasion   | `INV_Grad_0`     |
| **SKM\_** | Skirmish   | `SKM_Contraband` |
| **HRD\_** | Horde      | `HRD_Castello`   |
| **FFA\_** | Deathmatch | `FFA_ThePit`     |

***

## 2. Configuring Game.ini

1. Navigate to: `/Mordhau/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini`
2. Add the rotation block under the `[/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameMode]` section:

```ini theme={null}
[/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameMode]
MapRotation=FL_MountainPeak
MapRotation=INV_Grad_0
MapRotation=SKM_ThePit
MapRotation=HRD_Camp
```

***

<Important>
  ### Case Sensitivity

  Ensure your map names match the official internal strings (e.g., `MountainPeak` instead of `mountain_peak`). If specified incorrectly, the server will default to **The Pit** in FFA mode as a failsafe, which usually indicates a syntax error in your config.
