[Flame Of Udûn]

Could someone either tell me how or direct me to a guide on how to increase the horde size?

[ched]

its in the horde object ini file, however its harder than one could think
theres a line to edit the number of units so you go like "heey sweet "
but in fact it doesnt work well, the units will just get on top of each other
so you need to edit their position, right beneath, theres a line with stuff like x=0y=0z=0 ...
you need to create such a line for each unit in the horde, defining its position so the units spread around
its pretty tough to do so i suggest you take a look in mods who did it for the position thing (1st age mod for instance)

[Flame Of Udûn]

Ok, did that but the units are only single units, how do I make them grouped together as a horde?

[Hostile]

The horde file contains the individual units that make up the horde. This is the logical place to check. In the horde object it states what individuals are in the horde and where they should stand.

Each position is plotted as Ched said.
