Can you or some other describe what the purpose of a tutorial mode is? 
I can think of 3 reasons:
 - explain the basic client control components ("with this button you
 can control you tax rate",...)
 - explain the basic game concepts ("now build your first city with
 the 'b' key",...)
 - explain a scenario ("attach the enemy with boats but don't forget
 to research",...)
