In Age of Mythology Retold, you can autoqueue villagers which is process that comes in really handy for maintaining consistent economic growth without micromanaging production during battles or when you are busy with other tasks.
So let’s learn how to autoqueue villagers and how adjust the autoqueue settings in Age of Mythology ReTold.
How to Autoqueue Villagers
Step by step of auto-queuing villagers
- Find the Town Center
Find the nearest Town Center.
- Interact with the Town Center
Interact with a Town Center and right-click on the Villager production icon or press Alt + Q while hovering over the Villager unit option.
If you are on Xbox, point the left analog stick in the direction of the Villager unit and press the right analog stick.
Once activated, auto-queue will continue to produce villagers automatically as long as you have enough resources and available population spots.
During this process you need to make sure you have enough resources to work with. If you run out, the autoqueue will stop.
Moreover, keep an eye on your population limit and build houses when necessary to avoid production halts.
Once you build additional Town Centers, enable auto-queue on them as well to rapidly grow your economy.
Tip: Use hotkeys or manual commands to assign newly created villagers to specific tasks (e.g., food, wood, gold, or building).
How to Change Autoqueue Settings
If you wish to change or adjust the autoqueue settings you can do so before starting a skirmish.
Start from the main title screen of the game. Click on the menu icon (often referred to as the burger menu) located in the top right corner of the screen. Within the settings menu, go to the Game tab where various gameplay options are available.
You have three main options to adjust the Autoqueue Settings.
First, you can immediately autoqueue at the start of the game. When this option is enabled, it empowers the Town Center to start producing villagers as soon as the game begins. This is particularly useful for players who want to quickly ramp up their economy without manually queuing villagers.
Age of Mythology ReTold allows you to toggle the option to immediately Auto-Train villagers in newly build towns. If this option is activated, any new Town Centers that players construct will automatically begin producing villagers immediately. This ensures that players can expand their resource gathering capabilities without delay.
Lastly, you can allow villager priority. This setting enables the Villager Priority feature, which allows you to manage how villagers gather resources. You can automate the distribution of villagers to different resources based on their current needs.
