As I understand it, old limit was 20 players (16 in game, 4 observer), it
was increased to 32 in Vanilla version 2.9pl4.  The reason being: so we
can have lots of observers, and it supports 4 way T mode in the future I
suppose.  A crowded game can have 10 plus observers, plus it was very
annoying in INL to only have a limited number of obs slots per team.
