to assess your tower strat better, you need to give us some times like (how fast can you get up towers, when are you getting to the 3rd age?). It's curious because you opt to put villagers on a resource that's not food during the first age, which is typically not good (unless your india or dutch)
I haven't played for a long long time but i can tell you that you'd have to keep your villagers inside tower protection or your screwed. Towering up will usually mean that you run out of resources. Of course you are relying heavily on shipments but if you don't have a 3rd or 4th hunt in your range, then you won't have enough resources to keep the boom while trying not to neglect military and trying to get to fortress. Also, the enemy can simply choose to sit back and out boom you, since you will likely be holed up on your towered base while he take map control and gains resources that you won't have.
