Town Hall
This is the heart of your village. Upgrading your Town Hall unlocks new defenses, buildings, traps and much more.
Description
Protection of the Town Hall is critical for achieving players’ objectives.
Placement of the Town Hall outside a trophy pushing base or farming base serves no purpose, other than to rapidly drop Trophies. Players should aim to protect their Town Hall at all costs, as it contains a lot of all 3 different Resources.
If players are designing their War Bases, they should aim to protect their Town Hall at all costs. If an attacker is unable to destroy the Town Hall, he will get a maximum of one star.
However, at higher Town Hall levels (especially Town Hall 8) players can, instead of protecting their Town Hall at all costs, use their Town Halls as a high hitpoint damage sponge – similar to Storages – as part of a strategy to prevent 3-star attacks from Dragons and other high level armies, at the cost of making 2-star attacks much easier.
Placing your Town Hall within the range of your most powerful Defenses can give it the most shots to destroy attackers.
It is suggested that you upgrade everything you possibly can (e.g. Troops, Buildings, etc.) before upgrading the Town Hall to the next level. Prematurely upgrading (rushing) your Town Hall is extremely risky, and it will take months to upgrade your buildings/troops to match your Town Hall’s level. Raiding with low level troops will also become increasingly difficult.
If maximizing your builder time is important to you, it is inefficient to wait until literally all of your building upgrades are finished before beginning the Town Hall, as all but one of your builders will be idle for the duration of your Town Hall upgrade. In order to keep all of your builders occupied (but ensure they are all available when the Town Hall finishes) you should plan for the Town Hall upgrade to finish just as the remaining builders are finishing their final projects. For example, if you are currently at Town Hall level 7 and have three builders, you should upgrade your Town Hall (which takes 8 days) when the total remaining upgrading time of other buildings approaches 16 days.
Don’t place your Town Hall in a corner surrounded by Walls, troops can still be placed next to the Town Hall.
