I figure Isak is always throwing out estimates, this time it was my turn to get everybody's hopes up.

Could you offer us a little preview?

There is a spreadsheet available in our DyP Changelog forum at CDG. Anything else wouldn't qualify as "little"

I love all the new units, I cannot wait to start playing this. I like each civ with its own unique units. In future versions will you all be adding anything like naval or air flavor units? Thanks for all the hardwork, I know I would not be playing near as much civ were it not for Dyp. All your work and efforts are greatly appreciated by many.

L_a_M, it is available to the testers now. I can't promise it being released to the general public by the weekend. It all depends on what the testers come up with.

Caddy_NZ,
the problem you are running into is that Citizens each eat 3 food now rather than 2. Once you get out of Chiefdom you will get more food. It helps to settle your early cities near bonus food resources if you can.

I generally bee-line for Dynasticism(sp?), the advance that gives you Despotism. It's about ten techs deep in the research path, so I spend my time getting there popping out a settler and a warrior/spearman. It also helps if you can pop a settler down near a flood plains, this really helps with pumping out settlers. I research the wheel first, so I can get my worker building roads, and that helps with the research as well. I don't really have a standard build yet, because each situation is different.
Takes some getting used to, DyP does. But I think it makes Civ a bit more fun.

Farming is a good tech to go for if you don't start with it. Farming gives you wheat and a few other food resources.

Turner, in the newest build you don't get a worker at start. It will be interesting to see how that works. I also habitually go the Teh Wheel first. That may have to change.
I still go for the Wheel first. Not sure if I like not getting a worker, as I was using that to scout, and then head them back to the city once I got close to The wheel.
I now have to spend time building a worker, and that takes away from a Clan, slowing the expansion down. I really noticed that today. I had a game in 1.05x that I was playing, and had made the map for. I imported the map to the 1.10 build, and the progress was much slower. I'll have to wait and see how it pans out. I will admit, the warrior is nice. It helps getting that first unit so I can put him in MP mode right away. That's helped quite a bit. So I guess it balances out, as I spend a bit less time fighting Civil Disorder, and more time building.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that part. Makes early expanion a little easier.
I loaded and experimented with DYP for the first time yesterday. I am playing the PTW version (single file) patched to v1.05. I started on chieftan level to get familiar with it. I am playing the Persians and start with a tribe and a worker. Am I missing something or is the worker basically useless until I can build roads? I have been using him as a scout!
Yup, that's what I do. See my post a few up from this one. You need the Wheel to build roads. Irrigation comes with Crop Rotation, and mining comes with a medieval tech, I think mining.
Thanx Turner - I guess I'm not crazy after all 
I will say though that I spent most of my 'first time' with DYP looking at the 'Pedia and .pdf files and spreadsheet. I only built 2 cities. My first impression is that this is what Civ3 should have looked more like from the git-go! 'Great-job' to the creator(s) of this mod!!!!!!!!
