What happend to the thing that tells what your villagers are doing? You use to could see how many vills where doing what. ie: 8 hunting, 6 farming, 5 cuting wood. I don't rember how to make it come up in AOC but I used to do it all the time and I noticed that I could not find this option in the Alpha. Is this option still in the game? If not, WHY NOT? Does any one know what I am talking about? If so help me out. I can't explain what it is very good but it needs to be in AOM.

That when you turned Statistics ON and switched to the Economic map....is there an economic map in AoM? If so, you will probably get the ville task display thing...

I know what you're talking about. In AoK, you press the Economic View button near the minimap and press F4 (Statistics). I liked this feature, as not only did it give you working villager counts, it also gave the number of idle vills and made idle vills flash on the minimap. I don't have the alpha, so I don't know whether or not this is still included, but I think it ought to be... it was pretty useful.

There was a Normal, Military, and "nature" map in the Alpha, there was no option to see how many laborers you have doing what.
No doubt a feature like this has been implimented already, or will be implimented in a patch for the final release.
Hold your mouse over the resource icon in the bottom left and a popup help box, it tells you how many villagers are working on that resource.
For favor, egyptians, it tells you how many monuments you have, for greeks, it says how many villies are praying, for norse, it tells you how many heroes you have.
for population, it tells you how many houses and settlements you own that count towards the pop.

Yeah I think it needs to have an option to have it on the right side while you play like the score. But i guess that will do.

Agree. It's really nice. You can also click the resources box to open the tribute dialog.
