Save Empire Earth

any one know that ee scenarios and random maps can go to 16 players, however the original developers left out the field to enable more slots, would it be possible to look into adding or enabling it, so games can be max players allowed in random maps.
If anyone knows how to add that in, help me, also I would like to inquire as to if its possible to add the same field in the scenario editor to make it possible to make creating multiplayer scenarios possible.

There have been some approaches to achieve that; however, none of them succeeded (so far).
You can add the user interface for more players relatively easily, but the new slots aren't functional. There were some attempts to change this as well (via modifying the game binary), but nothing worked. Darkonen investigated on this I think, see http://www.moddb.com/mods/empire-earth- ... is-posible
