Sometimes when I'm playing a skirmish my Town Center disappears. It's not destroyed it's just gone. Any ideas why?

Well, it's gone. You can't select it just not there. It happens on all civilizations.

There are two possibilities how TCs (or other buildings) can disappear.
1) a TC is invisible, however still present (selectable by hotkey)
So far I've experienced it happens at view updates (eg. age-up). Like already mentioned, mainly concerning east-european TC model.
2) a TC disappears totally
It happened to me sometimes on certain random maps with bad terrain at starting location, that I got immediately after start the message "You have lost ..." - happens even on official/default maps. Starting in nomad mode works though.

It's weird. I just play normally then all of a sudden it freezes for ten seconds then I notice my TC wasn't there.

It doesn't matter really, I just save quit and load it again.

Is the TC also invisible to the enemy? Because if so then it could be an advantage, not a disadvantage.
It happened to me once playing as Russia on New England. When you make a villie it looks like they're just materialising out of thin air.
