IF you can't do the above, what about normal start for NPR but SM them down to the equivalent of a hybrid start?
1. Sure, but now you're playing all three races (with or without SM). You can't convert an empire from player control to AI, only the other way.
2. Strating NPR strength is random along a scale proportional to the strongest player empire. You can't generally see it. You can "turn down" the strength of NPRs in various ways, but these are hard to balance, and since the NPR can be geneareted with 50% your strength or 300% your strength in the first place, setting them to "half" merely chagnes that to 25% to 150%.
