Very first impressions here, more to come.
The tutorial needs work. I have no idea what is going on, and that makes the game not fun.
Now, the tooltips (which are excellent) alleviate this problem to some extent, but:
The tutorial should walk you through (step by tiny step) how to get a military building up and running for both factions (maybe a different one for each).
I cannot emphasize this enough. If this were the tutorial in an official release, there is a good chance that I would switch to a different game before I ever got to the fun part.
Once the basics are established (each town has military production up and running) the game becomes fun. More on that phase in later posts.
