40 unit multiplayer campaign achieved. [100% works]

[Kapetansky]

I've been trying to do this for ages but I finally figured out how to do 40 unit multiplayer campaigns. Who ever said it wasn't possible is an idiot, it was simple as hell.

1. Download ESF editor
2. Start a multiplayer campaign, modded or not it doesn't matter.
3. Complete 1 turn.
4. Save the game.
5. Host opens up save file for the multiplayer game in ESF editor.
6. Host goes to "Campaign_ENV > Campaign Model "
7. At the bottom of the panel at the right you'll see two values of 20 on top of each other. One is for army unit capacity and the other is for naval capacity. Change the top value to 30 or 40.
8. Save the file.
9. Send the file to your friend over a uncompressed file sharing service.
10. Launch the campaign and have your friend join.
11. Finish a turn and then have your friend send their save file and repeat the process. This is so that both players can enjoy the benefits.

If you want smaller icons you need to have the mod for it installed, I know it's inside of Darth mod or something but I haven't actually used that on multiplayer yet.

Do you have to repeat it every turn?

This does not work, I have tried this exactly. When loading the save that was edited the game crashes.
