Tested again, I have some additional comments: 1. Perhaps the standard messages should be disabled for the tutorial. (E.g. if you step away from the starting staircase, you'll get some message a la "Found staircase".) 2. The two disconnected parts of the map (when players are supposed to look at the X map for the first time) are too far apart in console. They should be closer. 3. It is good that 5 is introduced right away (no more 's'). Do we want to tell players that it will take at most 100 turns? I assume they'll learn about healing later. There should also be some occasion to teach '.' as "wait" (rather than "search" or "heal"). Great stuff. Do you need help with planning the other lessons?
