Unfortunately just couldn't seem to fully figure out what was going on. I tried both Wind and Fire and I managed to win with wind but I really only think it was because I kept using the lightning strike. While a proper tutorial would be nice, I think what would also help is having a match start with less available to the player. Not super sure how you could go about that with this game in particular, but often times in resource management games having the player start with less tools and gradually expand can kind of act as a natural tutorial!
