Part of the demo/tutorial could use improvement

[jep]

This part of the demo stumped me for a quite a while:

I could not figure why I wasn't putting water in a location it liked. Only after undoing the turn and redoing it all over did I notice there was a VERY specific spot - underneath my terraforming tiles display - that it wanted me to use. I have no idea at all why THAT spot is far superior to the other spots I was trying. And as this was the more free-form part of the tutorial, I didn't expect it to be a handhold "you must do EXACTLY what I say" like the first section was, so it didn't occur to me to look for a specific marked spot.

This should be changed to either let the user have more options (understandable why not, if they could botch things for later instructions), or somehow better move the view and point out the spot.

The Terraforming Tools that you get for free every 2 Turns, with 3 choices, often have a lot of required terrains on nearby tiles that make them hard to use where you would like to use them.

If you look carefully at the whole Game Map you can usually find one or two locations where they seem to have been designed/chosen to be used.

It is one of things that you have to resign yourself to in Farlanders.

Even when you try to buy them, the terrains on nearby tiles will often cause problems.

No, this was specific to the tutorial (second or third campaign mission). There was one very specific valid tile it wanted you to use it on.

Where is this tutorial to be found? I don't see anything like it on the main screen.

It's part of the campaign, explains stuff as you play.
