This mod simply changes number of factions that are allowed to be added to online game from max of 8 to a max of 20 depending on map size.

I have  optional file sets all the map sizes for total 18 factions by Default - due to there only being 18 different factions in game right now.

some maps sizes are hard coded to only allow so many players and files can be altered in game folder, I only did the  basic stuff as mod is right now

Only the host needs this mod, none  of clients or other players need this as it only removes limit in the online lobby does not effect game play in anyway.

It just simply gives host same ability to add same number of players online as it does if you where playing Single player.

Was just updated for fall 2016 update Version 1.0.0.38
