Patch # 1.2.0 - The New Patch - welcome to 1.2.X!

[Konstantin Fomenko]

In preparation for our biggest DoF event yet - starting on Tuesday next week (which for now shall remain a secret!) - we are releasing a milestone patch 1.2.0 that takes us into the new era. While there are still a number of bugs remaining in-game, from this point on, we can confidently concentrate on generating awesome new content - from pathfinding updates and 6 player PvP battles to alliances and a magic system. Today's patch introduces long overdue interactive tutorials and fixes a large number of issues across the board. In addition, we have streamlined the PvP and Co-Op player search system. In a few days time, the problem of not finding a player for a PvP game will be a thing of the past! And once again, we would like to thank our players for continuing support and all the suggestions and bug reports that we do our best to incorporate into these patches!

Patch is live!

Reads very nice and its good that the work continues

Still, when I choose much tropps, I get heavy visual lag. So the game is still unplayable for me
