I've been looking into why selecting individual trees is so difficult in DE. The main reason I found is that the "felled" trees (the graphics for after a tree is cut down but while Villagers are still collecting Wood from it) have large numbers of leaves spread across several tiles. These leaves get behind the neighboring Trees and cause misclicks. You right click a Tree, but the click is applied to the leaves behind the Tree, mistakenly tasking the Villager to the nearby felled tree.
I made a mod that changes these graphics to remove these excess leaves, and from some simple tests it seems to make it much easier to click on trees. Search for "Clickable Felled Trees" in game or use this link: https://www.ageofempires.com/mods/details/20572/
I could use some feedback about how helpful it is and whether it does indeed help to prevent misclicks. The Cube mod should also do the same thing, but this mod should look a bit more natural for most people.
