We tested long ago if the mod would work well with that many players. The maps arn't made for it for one, and mount and blade isn't either.
Hell back in the day i only had one server with that many slots, and after a while people couldn't handle that many players connected. The box was fine.
@Meow-Not that this has anything to do with CvG, but are you just gonna give anyone the right to host a server now? Sure love seeing these 10 man servers....what a waste
