Description:
|
| The Town Center
lets you create villagers and advance to the next Age.
It is also where villagers deposit food, wood, gold, and
stone. The Town center supports 4 villagers, military
units, or boats. Priests cannot convert Town Centers. |
| After you build
a Government Center, you can build additional Town Centers
to expand your civilization's dominance and build Town
Centers closer to distant resources. |
| Researching Architecture
increases hit points and decreases construction time. |
History
All villages and towns had an administrative center that
was the site of governmental power and leadership. In
the earliest villages this might have been the leader's
home. Later it might have been the king's palace. The
center was often the place where important supplies, especially
food surpluses, were stored. Vessels for storing grain
and oil were found in the ruins of the Palace at Knossos
on Crete. Some of the earliest accounting records yet
found were clay tablets left in long-forgotten storerooms
in ancient Sumeria and in Hittite cities. The destruction
of the town center usually meant the destruction of the
town's governmental infrastructure.
