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.
