Just go to the /hordes folder in the faction folder (data/ini/goodfaction or /evilfaction) and open one of the inis, you'll be looking for this block

	Behavior = HordeContain ModuleTag_HordeContain

The lines in bold are those you might want to change. You'll need to add new ranks if you increase the horde size... take a look at the 3rdage main-page, I think there's also a tutorial about this (might be for BfME1 but it should work for 2 also)
