Summary0019283: Tutorial Critique
DescriptionSome comments from http://forums.arcengames.com/ai-war-ii/ai-war-2-v0-600-released!-'tutorial-engine'/msg216724/#msg216724,
but I'm putting them in Mantis so we don't lose them.

In the galaxy screen, you say to "click on the second planet". You actually need to double click or ctl-click. Clicking once just brings up a bit of information about the planet (resources, etc).

Do you actually explain how to capture the planetary controller? It felt like it just happened, but I might also have set "Capture planet" myself because I happen to know how.

Once I nuked the Homeworld, the master controller came to the second planet. I immediately retreated to the first planet. The master controller just sat on the second planet and killed the ships I sent against it. I suspect if I was bored enough I could actually kill the master controller by sending waves of ships and leaving my ark on the first planet.

I eventually suicided my ark into the master controller, but that didn't end the tutorial. I just had to quit back to the main screen. This is.... anticlimactic. At least tell me I lost and how to quit or something.

Incidentally, I don't think the Master Controller in the tutorial should spawn the second stage. I think that little tidbit should be only learned when you think you've won your first game, and then say "Oh crap, what's this?"

Ooooh! That's devious in a really fun way. :)

In the tutorial you don't start with a metal generator. So a newer player can get badly gated on Metal if they need to refleet. Or the TutorialArk should give more resources. (comment due to feedback from WolfWhiteFire on discord)

Tutorial should also have the player unlock a Starship (and explain that it is critical to use them)
