Summary0010711: Skipping tutorial seems to give players a handicap
DescriptionSkipping the tutorial starts the player off on turn 3, so they have full control. There is one problem with this... no world map tiles have been purified that would have been if the player had gone through the tutorial. This actually gives the player a minor handicap, as monsters and Demonica are both closer to emerging and the map hasn't been expanded any for the player.

I might suggest adding at least some random purified tiles to the starting area, so that the player doesn't lose much if they've played a few times before and want to skip the tutorial.

The changelog that introduced the ability to skip the tutorial said that the game will randomly purify tiles. If the game isn't doing so, then this is a bug. I suggest attaching a newly generated world that shows the problem.

Rescuing survivors in the area that's purified at the beginning of the game is something particularly good to do on the first turn. I've filed a specific suggestion which will make skipping the tutorial slightly less of a handicap as bug 0010713.

Randomly picking the tiles is still a handicap, though, since being able to manually pick them allows you to be more strategic.

Yeah, windgen is right, if the game really isn't picking your two tiles at the start, please send us that save.

For 0.808:

* Fixed a bug where, while the skip-tutorial option was properly selecting 2 tiles to purify, it was not also purifying any corrupted tiles adjacent to those two targets.

Thanks :)
