Could you reinstate 16 player support?

Could you reinstate 16 player support from Stratagus 2.1? It created a useful loophole where each team color could be used twice creating a "work around" for Dual Race enemies.

In Warcraft II, there were some oddities with dual race enemies in the Alterac betrayal mission where Orange Human forces and Orange Orc forces were both controlled by the computer. This was hard coded into Warcraft II and it was not possible to reproduce Stratagus until version 2.1 where it was possible to have 16 players instead of the default 8. After the initial 8 players were used, Force 9 would be the same color as Force 1 (Red). Therefore, it was possible to have two Red opponents, one being Orc and the other being Human. Creating the illusion that the orcs and Humans were on the same team.

This was removed from Stratagus 2.2
