    I believe that non-admin kicking should be removed. (1. I have a poor internet connection and with it, is is nearly impossible to play the game, i'm kicked in 5 minutes. (2. I am constantly vote kicked from the game by someone who doesn't like what i'm doing, Once I voted for the ballista instead of the catapult, someone voted on me, and enough people agreed, I was kicked.

    Kind of defeats the purpose of kicking being there in the first place.
    If you are lagging a server, you are causing everyone else to lag as well, causing unnecessary bandwidth usage. That's why there are ping kicks in the first place. Connect to a better server or get better internet. If your connection can't handle games, then it's your fault, not the game.
    Vote kicks are needed for when there aren't admins on. Making admins the only ones who can kick is redundant because admins can kick who they want.

    Problem isn't vote kicking, it's people.

    I've asked people if they were getting lag while i'm on, they don't, neither do I, I have a ping of 66, but i'm still getting kicked so, i'm saying that if they can't stop the kicking so much at least raise how much ping you have to have for a period of time.

    Can't you report them for vote kick abuse?

    That's up to the server, not the game.

    Because having a high ping is extremely annoying to other players.

    People with bad connection are not meant to play games online, I hope that's clear enough.

    Ever heard of ping spikes? Your ping might be fine for majority of time, but then it skyrockets and you are kickbanned automatically, depending on the server.

    The game waits for glorious 28 ticks (iirc) before ping kicking anyway. Get a better internet.

    By the way, you probably weren't votekicked because you voted for a ballista.
    1) It takes more than one people to vote for a ballista vs catapult, as the catapult tech tree has more items
    2) You can't see who votes for what tech
