Or, you could force one to surrender to the other, and have fun destroying a double-wide empire.

Merging empires is one of the worst ways to ruin a PBW game.

Just have one of the players pick a new set, swap out the new images for the empire and forward a zip copy to everyone. Problem solved.

Won't work, game is already started. The two players didn't select any specific shipsets, so the computer apparently selected the same stand-in shipset for both.

I wonder if it's possible to have a 20-player game and have every empire use the same ship set? Now that would be really confusing.

It is possible. Don't give Geo or Tesco any bad ideas!

Make a copy of your whole SEIV directory, remove all the shipsets except one from your copy, and fire up your favourite game with 20 Empires: voilà, you now have 20 twin Empires.
