Trying to load a saved multiplayer with 3 others but all our empires are missing.

We had put around 7-8 hours into the game before we saved for the night. When we got on to play next we found that our empires were not selectable or even appearing on the list. Going into observer mode you could still see the correct map as well as our empires but we have been unable to play using the same nations we saved with.

We had saved it to the cloud and all 4 of us saved the game but none of us are able to host it where all our empires are present. If we play single player we can play as the same empires but even if that game is saved and then host loaded the empires our still missing. This happened once before in another game but in that one 3 of our empires were present and only 1 was missing. No real difference between the two games either and same people.

How can we play previously saved MP games as the empires we started with ?
 
Can you please attach the save game that this is affecting (or all of them if there are more)? You can find them in:
