You can only spawn at a max 3 bot's per core with mervbot. sorry. {you'll need to launch a new core}

If you are talking about the Spawn settings in the server.cfg, there are 4 of them. 0, 1, 2, and 3.

you can spawn up to around 750 bots with one core using mervcore... you can't use the !spawn commands though... for some reason you need to launch then through a plugin using tell(makeSpawnBot(...))

The kingbot in HZ does it... so can you.

I wouldn't recommend doing that

Merv goes much like the Red Alert 2:Yuri unit that mind control's units, too many 'connections' it says :: "Brain Overload"; and starts to loose its strength and blows up..

XD

Actually, I believe you are able to spawn more, if you want to modify the core.

Catid told me once that, because MERVBot was/is one of his early projects, it's not as good as it could be.
But as long as it works, there's no need to modify the core by coding a new, better one.

you can host up to 768 bots local to the server from one EXE

But remember that's local, don't even think about trying remote.

I've done about 30 remotely and they seemed to stay connected for a few minutes... not saying I recommend it though.

They stay connected, probably. But dont ever attempt to do anything with them. Run elim on 2 of them, move each spawn to its own sub. You will get kills messages minutes late and drop several spawns.
