Hi, the construction time of the town center is 150 seconds in the wiki but in tech tree it shows 100 seconds.

There are multiple Town Center units in the game. On aoe2techtree.net, the Dark Age TC shows a build time of 100s, while the Castle Age TC shows a build time of 150s. I am actually not sure whether that is correct for the Dark Age TC :shrug:

How can you construct a town center in dark age? Is there some way to find out? I just checked for imperial age 150s are correct.

…have you ever heard of the Persian Douche? :D

Ups yes I remember^^

So I timed also 150s for the persians in dark age:

Ok, so these are the Town Center units:

# stack units for RTWC.X
# 109 is configured stack unit for all of them
# gets upgraded to corresponding one with each age

109 RTWC
 71 RTWC2
141 RTWC3
142 RTWC4

# regular town centers
# get upgraded to corresponding one (A,B,C,X) with each age
# RTWC.X are Head Units
# RTWC.A, RTWC.B, RTWC.C are Annex Buildings

481 RTWC3A
482 RTWC3B
483 RTWC3C
484 RTWC3X

611 RTWC4A
612 RTWC4B
613 RTWC4C
597 RTWC4X

614 RTWC2A
615 RTWC2B
616 RTWC2C
617 RTWC2X

618 RTWC1A
619 RTWC1B
620 RTWC1C
621 RTWC1X

The X ones are the buildable ones. They have a construction time of 150s, but not Garrison Space. The stack units have a construction time of 100s, but 15 Garrison Space. So it's annoying to pick a units for display in the tech tree.
