GeniXPro has completly remade the tutorial. It is available for viewing in CVS, and will be included in Alpha19. Please base any futher comments on this new version.

I really like the looks of Globulation 2, but I found the game so different from things I've done this far the tutorial was over all too soon (closest is Starcraft with its micromanagement and "point-at-unit-and-tell-it-what-to-do" user interface). When the campaign started, I was overwhelmed by some things I didn't feel I was ready for after the tutorial:

1) The number of workers increased a lot - most of them go around idle and just get hungrier, whatdoIdowhatdoIdo? The scenario instructor tells me to put about 3 to work on the swarm and the build projects employ some, but what about all the other loose workers? Tried increasing worker numbers on various buildings a whole lot, but one wanderer was still getting gradually further away from my base (at least it seemed so).

2) The instruction "build just warriors now" was nice, but how do I do that? I found some adjusting things in the swarm building, but confusingly they don't act as percentages - if I pull the warrior slider up to full, the worker slider doesn't react by going down...

Building a warrior and using one to kill something in a tutorial setting, where everything is explained, would be nice. So would commentary on what to do with the immense numbers of workers when starting.
