Villager Priority for resource shifts
On console, Villager Priority presets can quickly redirect workers toward a rush, a boom, or a balanced economy; manual adjustments keep that preset aligned with the current match.

Overview
On console, Villager Priority presets can quickly redirect workers toward a rush, a boom, or a balanced economy; manual adjustments keep that preset aligned with the current match.
Plan and execution
Choose a preset as a starting distribution, then manually move Villagers when you need a particular timing, such as more food for production or wood for Farms. Recheck the split after advancing Ages, losing a resource camp, or changing army composition.
Risks and adaptation
A preset does not know which resource site is threatened or whether the map supports the planned army. Treat it as an economy control aid, not a fixed build order, and retask individual workers when scouting changes priorities.
