Does the game have a tutorial mode? Or at least a menu option you can go to to read up on what all you can do in-game?
No tutorial, just tossed you into the main story.
There are tooltips that pop up and sometimes secondary objectives to explain some of the units' abilities, structure features, or gameplay features but it doesn't cover the full interface.
Like I knew about the unit info panel but I thought it mostly showed the health, attack and defense ratings and didn't know about the passive ability tooltip until starting the second campaign.
It's also crazy how there's a disparity between factions (imo). GDF are more straightforward, you produce units and there's interplay between the units - some Mark enemies for bonus points or provide boosts to nearby friendly units.
With Dynasty there's way more micromanagement, like you can change a reactor mode so it boosts production in nearby buildings but it also damages them in the process. I'm also not a fan of most of their units. Anti infantry units use flamethrowers that have shorter range as do their flame towers and you can't build guard posts to garrison units in for defense. Probably all irrelevant for online play but turtling helped a lot in the GDF story
