Downloaded the game today, it's awesome! It's so cool to watch an empire conquer 85% of the galaxy then succmb to transcendence/ALL_WILL_BE_ASHES/rebellion and give birth to many new empires! Also, I enjoyed spawning a lot of monsters and watching the chaos.

Thanks a bunch! :) Sounds like you play this much like I do, poke it a bit and see what happens :)
