The NetworkPlay branch introduces three major features to improve the multiplayer experience:

1. **[Delta Synchronization](#feature-1-delta-synchronization)**: Instead of sending the complete game state on every update, only changed properties are transmitted, significantly reducing bandwidth usage.
1. **[Delta Synchronization](#feature-1-delta-synchronization)**: Instead of sending the complete game state on every update, only changed properties are transmitted. Combined with LZ4 compression, this achieves **~97-99% bandwidth reduction** compared to the original full-state approach (typical game: 12.4MB → 80KB).

2. **[Reconnection Support](#feature-2-reconnection-support)**: Players who disconnect (intentionally or due to network issues) can rejoin an in-progress game within a configurable timeout period (default: 5 minutes). If a player fails to reconnect before the timeout expires, they are automatically converted to AI control to allow the game to continue.
