Randomised 'bandit' parties using the same spawn party?

[Mayhem]

So basically I was wondering if different parties could spawn from the same point, or if that's not possible, change the frequency of spawns and the max number at a time. Its just that adding lots of spawns really grinds the game to a halt with battle after battle..and I want lots of different groups in a small area.
Has this been done before? If not, could someone point me to the right place to figure this out myself?

Cheers,

You should have asked me first 

Heres the script for spawning bandits:

隐藏

  #script_spawn_bandits
  # INPUT: none
  # OUTPUT: none
  ("spawn_bandits",
    [(set_spawn_radius,1),
    (try_begin),
      (store_num_parties_of_template, ":num_parties", "pt_mountain_bandits"),

##        (display_message, "@{reg1} Deserters spawned from {s1}, near {s2}."),
      (try_end),
    (try_end),
    ]),

Should be fairly self evident, these:  '(lt,":num_parties",14),' are the bits you want.

But thats just the spawn radius and maximum amount. The frequency will be in the triggers somewhere (where it calls this script I suppose) I'll look now.

EDIT:
The trigger is in module_simple_triggers:
  # Spawn some bandits.

  (36,
  [
      (call_script, "script_spawn_bandits"),
    ]),

So it appears the script is called every 36 game hours...
