After playing the rather choppy tutorial, I jumped in to the different modes of play and was immediately dismayed. I could not distinquish easily the icons or buttons for resource management, the fog of war was way too small for the structures I built, I could not manage the population or troop building - the only choice seemed to be 'infinity'.
