Nice, nice, very nice! This is exactly what ZK needs to appeal more to the general RTS crowd.

First of all is the camera. It enables the smoothscroll and that other (forgot the name) camera. And, tbh, they are terrible :( Verys slow, unresponsive and you cant rotate the camera's angle. I disabled those at the start but after a cut scene the camera froze. I had to renable the ZK camera and disable it again to unlock it.

Secondly, it doesn't use my hotkeys. (i actually self-D the athena when i wanted to make a turret because ctrl+d is Aa-defense in my layout :S)

Isn't it posible to just read the users spring and ZK settings and use those in the mission?

It may be a little simplistic but an OK excersice. The sniper could just play on his own until the defense part while the glaives had hardly anything to do at all. i agree with Antero here that this part is a bit too static.

I'd cut the Bansiher from the group. It isn't suited for the terrain. It can't move up all the ramps where you'd expect him to. Or you'll have to explain how the F2 view works.

The end was good fun though! I only had 3 zueses and a firewalker unlocked when the defense part came.

I am not sure how much knowledge of ZK you expect from the player but given you teach what an LLT is i guess that it is minimal. However, you assume a lot already. Things like repair, cloack, jump are available without info.

The
fact
that
you
have
to
make
a
condtructor
with
an
Athena
instead
of
a
factory
in
a
tutorial
mission
is
a
bit
dodgy
i
think.
Isn't
a
better
to
just
spawn
one
or
two?

You could also say that the Athena is VERY fragile at the start of the mission.

The Fire Walker is a nasty friendly fire award generator. Is it an idea to put it on hold fire and explain that you have to fire it manually?

Saves.. i know this is imposible with the current engine. I won't critiscise the mission for this. But it is something every RTS player is going to expect. These type of longer missions are hardly playble without them to most people. They want to retry every little engagement 4 times. Is it an idea to stick to smaller tutorials and missions that evolve around a single gameplay element?

Overall still a major step towards a more mature RTS game :D Mega props to KingRaptor for your hard work. I know it is not easy to make these things :D
