I did the same and logged into the empires in my game. That was *really* depressing. At turn 180 none of them had developed Medium sized ships, most had around 6k research points, all but 2-3 of them had yet to leave their first system and discover any other empires(!), all but one or two of them had minor to severe maintenance problems, one guy had a mineral generation of 100k but only 10k maintenance; he didn't have *any* ships at all, at least 3 or 4 empires had just about all of their planets rebelling, etc. Hmm.
