Practical role and placement

The Town Center trains Villagers, advances the civilization through the Ages, and serves as a drop-off point for every resource. In a standard random-map start, players begin with one; additional Town Centers become available in the Castle Age. Garrisoning Villagers shelters them and lets the structure return defensive fire, so it can anchor both economy and emergency defense.
