Patch # 1.4.1 - One Patch til Steam!

[Konstantin Fomenko]

Another great patch today - adding awesome new features across the board. And we are happy to say our server upgrade is complete and we are ready for Steam with just one major patch left to finish. Our 1.4.1 patch continue to add great social features - like sending resources to players, or viewing other player profiles. In addition we went ahead with boosting the gore levels and added long requested ability to mark homeland units as garrison - although it won`t properly save until the next patch. Once again we would like to thank you for all your support and we look forward to releasing Dawn of Fantasy on Steam together with you in just over a week.
