Why not two of same nation in game?

Sorry if this has been discussed before, I haven't noticed it if it has.

now that is something I would like.....i think it would make the game more "mysterious", not knowing who you will meet on the fields of battle until you see "the white of their eyes"

I slightly achieved this in Dom 1. You started all 14 nations but many fell out quickly. The problem with my script was that you were just as likely to fall out as anyone else.

It's funny, but even though I can't really think of a good reason why there shouldn't be more than one of the same nation in Dom II, I still kind of like it that you can only have one of each nation.

What are the main reasons why this would be a desirable idea for people?

*edit - BTW I love the idea of mystery opponents. This would be a really great fun option to add.

could be done (with some work around) with a small utility which would modify the script file of a map.

I have made an utility for Doms I (DFC, you can grab it on Sunray's site), and intent to upgrade it for doms II, with some scripting features.
