Actually, it says "you only need one, so wait until you've got two",
which is kinda confusing :)  It should also say something like "swarms
can also produce warriors - we'll deal with them later", so the player
has a better chance of remembering about warriors when they're
introduced later on.

Also, it says that you'll learn what orange trees are for later, but you
never do.  I think that should go in a different tutorial, and they
shouldn't be mentioned in this one.

Saving and reloading doesn't work, as the instructions go right back to
the start, instead of picking up where you left off.  There's probably
not much that can be done about that (it's a limitation of SGSL), so the
text shouldn't encourage the player to save and reload.  This is also an
argument in favour of splitting the game up into a campaign of quite
small units.
