If you are leaving a reply in this thread, please attempt to answer the following questions.
1) What other tasks should be taught to new players?
2) Which player base behavior should be modified?
3) How can it be modified?
4) Which amazing features should be introduced to the new players to 'hook'em' ?
The tutorial is teaching new players how to play the H&G game. The tutorial should also be shaping behavior and creating enough excitement to retain players.

Perhaps, the transition from bots to real players has a very brief video about the following:
- Welcome and thank them for choosing Heroes and Generals
- Introduce soldier types
- Three currencies (Credits, War Funds, Gold)
- Explain limited resources
- Order system (Attack, Defend, Rally)
- Squad Leader
- Reason for 1-5 star rating of battle
- Three information panels after an action battle (Soldiers, Scoreboard, Battle)
- Account progression
- Ribbon progression
- Weapon mods
- Rank & Salary
- Campaign Map & Assault Teams
- Sources on information (Wiki, News, Forum, YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, etc) [This is the time to teach them how to fish for information]
Introduce them to the awesome H&G Community, encourage them to become active in the H&G Forum, and make them feel like they are now part of the Family.
@reto.McFly I enjoyed DevStream #89 - Tutorial Bots. I think the new tutorial due out with Update 1.06 will greatly assist new players. Thanks for all the hard work.
