The single player games take so long, so how does multiplayer work? Do people normally start at a later starting date (not '36)? Do people pause often?

HoI multiplayers are addicts that devote a lot of their free time to gaming. A lot, if not a majority, of them like to play '36 because they want to shape their countries to their likings.
Due to lag problems most of the games are played at normal/above normal speed during peace times. When things get hot the game speed is most often turned down to slow. At that speed you don't need to pause that often, and most players are sensible about their pausing. Some games even have rules prohibiting or severly restricting pausing.
