Tutorial Confusing

[TheAncientLichKing]

Firstly i'd like to say that I enjoy the game, it's good. However, the tutorial could've been accomplished more efficiently. The first level could serve as a tutorial to everything you need to know rather than spanning it across many levels. I understand it helps build the story but you end up spending time trying to figure specific game mechanics out.

Example; the library being the center for research was not made clear so I was left wondering how to research and figuring out that you build a library with a church and that research is completed by the cleric. Also I didn't realize how to actually create another villager until level 7. Maybe it's just me but there was quite a few things that I was left unaware of that caused me quite a bit of unnecessary tinkering and time. It would of been nice to have had the entire tutorial in the 1st level and then the campaign directly afterwards. It may also be that I wasn't paying enough attention to what the NPCs were telling me, but I made sure to listen when they were speaking so I dunno.

maybe you should learn to listen or read? "Also I didn't realize how to actually create another villager until level 7. " for example is explained in the first mission when you build the first house....

I've played for 9 hours now and the way the game teaches you mechanics is not the greatest. Yeah I may have missed something obvious but the campaign being intermingled with a tutorial the whole way through is not that intuitive. There's not even many things to learn and it's still trying to teach you towards the end of the game.
