Oh whaaaat, so that's all been reverted now? Well, that counts me out, I guess. It's been a feature in AoE2 since 1999, so it's insane that people think it should be changed back for this remaster, haha
Yeah exact replication was kinda the premise though I guess they made it widescreen at least? Replays are compatible between them even.

It'd be cool if you could at least toggle those features on in custom games.

having options for high apm micro seems good to me, so long as none of it is only required by things that make are pointless handicaps zerg injections are a good example of a pointless macro sink ,as has been said. there's some opportunity cost in that it delays dropping creep but realistically everyone's going to keep making GBS threads out larvae non-stop and creep is a second priority, so it's just a dumb sink - i was kind of wrong, it's not totally autocast, but you can queue injects, so it's not too bad.

Yeah it's designed to be fiddly on purpose, none of those mechanics pay rent in terms of how interesting they are strategy-wise vs how much mandatory distracting clicking they add.
