What about secondary (or even tertiary) town centers?
Would you recommend building them? If so, at what point in the game and where (relative to the enemy)?
It appears to be a good defensive strategy to fall back on in case you get caught off guard and nearly get wiped out. In such a case, assuming you still have resources, you can pump out villies (to the enemy from seemingly out of nowhere) and rebuild, regroup and launch a counter attack.
Comments? Stories?

in boom maps i dont make too many second tc's cuz the games simply dont last long enough...
one good use i found for them though, is when you have 2 vills building stuff on the enemy, its good to also build a tc nearby, that way if your builders die, they can be replaced instead of having to take 2 from your original town...... which may be really far away....

After you are bronze, use Town Centers instead of Storage pits. Have 2 vills build one by that gold mine over there, then pump vills crazily out of there instead of dragging your other vills all the way across the map
