Not if you assume that the tutorial guides ppl with a lack of gaming skills. Tho one one hand we do have a player which knows the game, he can make a decision about the tactic that fits best to his current situation and on the other hand we do have nooby players. They at least have some troops and are guided through the game.
It's fine.
Beside, the purpose of that tutorial is not to boost you in the early game, it's intention is, that new players are guides through all game aspects and features so they do not become frustrated and quit.
