Then let us just call it Village center. It just does not look natural to anyone. Farms could be extraterritorials as outposts, why not.

Maps should make each game different expiriance because gamers should adjust their strategies to map atributes. Maps should have more and less fertile places for farms, animals which are difficult to hunt, local minor enemies allies and neutrals, even hordes and pirates to invade map periodicly. That way maps should matter. Current state is bad- maps aspect is underestimated.

Town centers should not be drop sites. That way they would not be surrounded with farm fileds which is not natural.
