Proportions any good for single player?

LAN is wholely different from PBW. LAN games have lots of time at once to be played. PBW games typically have 1 turn per day (or every other day).

PvK:

That depends on how you set up the game, and what kind of a game you want.

Yes, it does.

In the unmodded game, I never wait until I have finished the tech tree before attacking other empires. Sitting around doing nothing for many turns in a row is not my idea of fun.

The game is about conflict, after all. Why would so much of what you do have to do with military strength if it weren't? In Proportions, it takes a long while before you can get enough forces to have meaningful conflicts (esp. when trying to attack HWs).

If you want to have an intense war in a couple-hundred turns

I would rather not have to wait a couple hundred turns before having an intense war.

Or, turn blitz/autorun for the first 150+ turns, then let the game start.

This is an option, yes. But, I would rather be in control of my empire for the entire game. I don't want to have to spend a lot of time fixing the problems the AIs caused.
