@ThePoshBarbarian, your classification makes sense, except for resistance needs to be reversed. In all actuality, leather armor is designed to block arrows and other pointed weapons, an axe blade or a good blow with a sword would cut through it like butter. As for sling implementation, slingerss could just deal small amounts of pierce and crush damage.

Fun fact. Ford Model T was the most successful car in automotive history, and to date, is still iconic. It had primitive suspensions and back then we had cobblestone road. We should therefore get back to that. I'm sure this is a totally valid reasoning.   You don't have much knowledge about the game and none about the subject at hand. This is made visible by the numbers you give. Since you have self-imposed rules like "I will only ever play pure vanilla" the only thing you can ever do is express your emotional reactions to matters you have no context or experience about. You are free to do so, obviously. It's just not very constructive.  People that refuse to the use current auto-queue, play SP, and therefore will never ever be impacted by any ways by improvements to the feature can also express there opinion and try to Decide4me, but their stances might not (should not) weight as much as people that actually know what they are talking about.

When pigs fly

I'm just a casual RTS player, probably never, its part of the game and I rather keep it as it is, since having full pop at either min 15-30 is skill based rather then full pop always at min 15 with automation. Would it still consider RTS if the gameplay loop is automated? I could vouch for the auto-train to be removed to enrich the strategy experience, The AI can always be toned down to cover that.

Fun fact. StarCraft: Brood War is one of the most successful RTS games in history. That game defined the word E-sport. I've been playing that game for 20 years now, and I'm nowhere near being good at it. My average APM is ~105, when I'm being serious, which puts me at high D to low C rank. Good players have ~250 APM, while pros can go up to 400 when microing their units. The best part is, Brood War has no auto-queue. You can't even hotkey more than one building at a time. Still, I'm still playing that game, after all this time.
