We present numerical studies of an on-lattice many-walker diffusion-limited aggregation model. For asymptotic late stage growth, the ensemble averaged envelope exhibits a convex to concave transition. This transition resembles morphology transitions in other diffusion-limited systems but we do not detect a change in the functional form of the growth velocity. We also find that the distribution of the segment lengths is invariant under changes of the supersaturation.
