Of course, as with many aspects of Proportions, players may not realize the implications of all the changes, and may tend to stick to habits formed with the unmodded game, including thinking of the play cycle as the same way. Players who think the goal is to reasearch and colonize everything, might die of old age before they "complete" a game. On the other hand, I think JLS' group has completed several multiplayer games played with a the idea of having a quick war from the beginning.

I can’t count how many LAN games we all have been played with Proportions… It certainly is over a few Dozen with 3-4 Player games going sometimes simultaneously.

We much prefer Proportions 2.22+ over any MOD today for multiplayer LAN play.
When any Human Player starts (next door) to a Violent or aggressive AI early, all Human Players that can help, usually do help, in that AI War…

How ever with over 18 in the LAN group, there is a very Diverse Way, we each Play Proportions. Actually you could find a style of play that would match every Culture and Demeanor from this group that resembles SE IV. I would put myself in the Aggressive Honorable Merchant type Category of average Play with other Players ranging from over aggressive to excessively conservative in play and we have competed in many wide-ranging games from 100 turns to more then a thousnand turns.

With above said, I also want to reiterate how seamless Proportions plays in Solitaire as well; in all turn based games
