Good to know! What input scheme do you use on that?

Wow I wish Clem Jones hadn’t come along and ruined our tram network. Apparently Brisbane would today have the 3rd largest tram network in the world if we’d kept it going at its peak: no additional new track laid. Instead he ripped it up and we have not one metre left, except when you occasionally see bits of it buried when they do road works…like when they expanded Gympie Rd from 6 to 8 lanes over the last year or so. Sigh.

As for hop-on trams, obviously not very accessible. If they had the ability to stop and put down a ramp for people who need it, it could be manageable, but realistically if we’d kept the track, they’d have needed to lower the floor of the trams and raise up the platforms to make for level (or at least near-level) boarding.

I don’t own a console so I’ve not had direct hands-on experience with this, but as an aoe2 and aoe4 player I’ve seen that they’ve introduced many of the same changes there, seemingly with success. This is the first time though that they’ve had the villager priority system on desktop. I tried it out during AoM’s beta on my computer and…it was terrible. I love that the option exists and it combined with AoM’s villager autoqueue are probably brilliant options for beginners that can help them be much better than they otherwise would. But you don’t have to be very good at all for the imperfections in Villager Priority to at least feel way worse than what you can do yourself.
