Proportions Mod: Multiplayer anyone?

Last night, I fell in love with the Proportions Mod which I found on the Gold CD. Incredible stuff, it's what I've been searching for.

I would like to either participate in a multiplayer game using this mod or host a game myself, on PBW or simply doing PBEM.

If there's people interested in a multiplayer game, it would be nice to hear from you.

I am very interested in this mod.

But as you already know, I am quite new and my participation in 'Gorgo's Fourth' (Anunikoba) will be all I can muster at the immediate moment.

I haven't played the mod, or multiplayer... But i've been meaning to give them both a try.

I'd like to do a multi-player Proportions game. It should be best in multi-player, although I have tweaked the AI a bit for the next patch. I'll try to finalize Version 1.4 and upload it to PBW this weekend.

I made a quick fix Version 1.4 of Proportions, which can be used to upgrade existing games.

There is a problem with Proportions 1.3 running on SE IV Gold 1.6, in that the infantry defense modifiers can cause unintended stalemates in ground combat. These modifiers have been removed in Proportions 1.4, and are the only change, so existing games running 1.3 should be able to switch to 1.4 without causing any problems or balance issues.

I mean to release a Proportions 1.5 soon (this weekend, I hope), which will also change a number of other things, which are really changes to the balance and other aspects of the mod, rather than fixes. It may be possible to upgrade existing games from earlier Versions to 1.5, but it will change some abilities. Hence 1.4, to fix the problem without changing the game balance and abilities of some things.

Proportions 1.4 is available at PBW HERE.

Count me in. I've been playing around with proportions the Last few days and it's great! As well as the obvious economic changes, I was impressed by the "open" galaxy layout and the new tech tree.

PBEM would suit me best but I'm sure I can be flexible. I guess we'd want to do a quick blitz on TCP to run through the early, short turns.
