Tutorials are all just videos? 😧

Dudes, I want to PLAY THE GAME, not sit through lectures :(

Why didn't you have interactive tutorials like every other game?

[Cohaven]

Agreed. The new player experience is disappointing

[Medicus]

I never watch videos either. But I also never play tutorials, they are boring as hell for me. Best ist a good manual or ingame tooltips.

My guess: small team with a grand idea of a new system. Producing video tutorials are probably a lot easier than developing actual hands on turorials. 60 minutes in, I am still totally confused though . Not sure I will ever really get comfy with it, and so far feels a lot more boring than I thought after watching some gameplay, but the price on sale was low, so, probably keeping it.

At least the important ones are short and concise, better than a long winded tutorial.

All the tutorials are out of date. The air transport video doesn't work anymore.

Your kidding, right? I LOVE the video tutorials. Most tutorials for games like these are so boring, lame and long.

[Cryptic]

the tutorials suck lol

Almost all the videos are up-to-date concerning the features of the game. The air transport stuff is a bug.

Yes and no. The tutorials were all made 2-3 releases ago, so if they say any specific numbers then assume the numbers are wrong. But all mechanics shown should work.

Except for air transport. That one is broken now.

I've tried four times and cannot get my units to do what I want. Such a cool concept, but expecting people to figure it out on the path of trial and error under real time strategy pressure is nuts.

The tutorial videos on Order Lines are very detailed. And the game can be paused.

A good way to train a bit could be to set a singleplayer team game. Put 1 AI on your own side, vs a single AI on the other. should give a chance to figure it out without too much stress. Definately takes some getting used to.

Sandbox it. That is how I learned.

[Revilar]

Yea, I just started the game up and found this out. I watched the "learn to play in 1 minute" video as was left thinking, "there's no way they expect me to get anything out of this...".
Shame. Concept looks interesting but this will be a quick refund I think.
