First: Player 1-8 are all THE SAME. The only difference is the colors, which you can change using GUedit or SF. Anything beyond 8 is NOT PLAYABLE. Player 9-11, I have no idea what they do. Player 12 is the player which neutral units (critters, addons, recources, ect. go to. Also, player 12 gets any units of players that leave the game. Player 13 allows you to double the speed of the game. Anything above those players usually arent used.
An advanced map maker like you should know what players 9-11 do, also should know that p13 sucks making the game fast, p14 scarab/interceptor is a lot better

Also, players above 12 may crash PCs, crash Macs, or disconect both, but a PC user won't be able to play with a mac user a game with p13+ units. Also some of the players may change when a new patch comes out.
