Multiple Commanders Mod Request

In Planetary Annihilation at the moment the only way to play without being interrupted by the AI is to set their economy to 0.0. However this means you can have no battles. I personally would like to see a mod that allows me to effectively control two or more commanders/teams. These teams wouldn't be an AI so the wouldn't build or move anything I didn't tell them to build. Also these teams wouldn't have to be on the same side so I could control two armies fighting against each other.
I don't know if this would be possible to mod in but it would be an interesting feature and it wouldn't surprise me if the devs already had a similar feature to test unit balance.

Moving this to a new thread with more ideas/requests:

It would be very easy to mod in. It's just a case of deleting a few things.

Can't this already be done with the cheats mods where we can swap control?

Yes, however the AI will still act and control everything under it's command.

I'm wondering if it would work just making it so you can be in more than one slot in the lobby. Some other stuff may need to be done such as which resources are shown and how you spawn in two commanders at the start.
