Hello!
Every time we update the current beta, we're also going to talk about an upcoming feature in the Steam release! This current feature are known as "Mirror Matches," where multiple people can play as the same tribe. Want to have an 8 player Imperius match? Go right ahead! Want to see who is the better Luxidoor player? Now you can! As you can see on the picture, the mirror tribes are simply given the colors of any tribe not currently playing in this match. The first player will always get the tribe's default color, and everyone else will pick from the unused colors. Also, the bots can do it, too! Now you can find multiples of the same tribe in a single player game! (I once had 3 Oumaji.)
