Queueing villagers is indeed a skill and auto-queueing should NOT be in-game

Auto-Q should have disadvantage against manual-Q just as auto-macro has against manual macro. For example 2 seconds delayed production.

I suggested the same thing before.
I do think it should only be 1 second in AoM since the villager train time is only 14 seconds compared to the 25 seconds in AoE2.
So 1 second in AoM and 2 seconds in AoE2 seem like good numbers to me.

That would mean in AoM you would be 1 villager behind after 14 villagers and in AoE2 you would be 1 villager behind after 12.5 villagers.
The advantage increases once you have multiple TCs.

Another idea I have is making autoqueue a technology. This autoqueue would not have any delay.
It would be cheap (50 Food 50 Wood/Gold) and take as long to research as 1 villager to train at the Town Centre.
This way you are instantly 1 villager behind when you research it, but it will likely be worth it at some point especially when you have multiple TCs.

If you want to put more time into the auto queue villagers, these would be the equivalents
With a production time of 21 seconds, a villager would be lost at exactly 7 minutes.
With a production time of 22 seconds, a villager would be lost at 3 minutes and 40 seconds.
