The Town Center is one of the most important buildings you will upgrade in Lordrush. As your Town Center level increases, you gain more power while also significantly improving your Attack and Defense. However, upgrading it becomes increasingly expensive and time-consuming at higher levels.
In this post, we will tell you everything you need to know about the Town Center in Lordrush, including its maximum level, upgrade times, resource costs, power increases, and the building requirements you need before starting each upgrade.
If you are planning your progression, I recommend checking the requirements ahead of time. From the mid and late-game levels, you will often need to upgrade your Embassy, military camps, or Academy before you can continue with your Town Center. Preparing those buildings early can save you from getting stuck when you have enough resources but are missing a requirement.

Best Way to Prepare for Town Center Upgrades
The biggest mistake I would avoid is waiting until your Town Center upgrade is finished before checking the requirements for the next level.
The Embassy is required for almost every major Town Center upgrade from the mid-game onward, while Infantry, Archer, and Lancer Camps rotate as requirements. The Academy also becomes necessary at several important levels.
My recommendation is to always check your next Town Center requirement and start upgrading the required buildings in advance. This will help keep your progression moving instead of forcing you to spend days catching up on a building you forgot to upgrade.
You should also start saving large amounts of Bread and Wood during the later stages. By Town Center Level 30, you will need 300 million Bread and 300 million Wood, alongside 60 million Stone and 15 million Iron.
The Town Center is one of the biggest progression goals in Lordrush, and reaching Level 30 requires a huge investment of time and resources.
The early levels are relatively quick, but upgrades become significantly longer after Level 20. By the final levels, individual upgrades can take several weeks without speedups.
If you plan ahead, keep your Embassy and required military buildings upgraded, and save resources before starting each major upgrade, you can avoid many of the progression delays that slow players down. For most players, preparing for the next requirement before you actually need it will be the easiest way to keep your Town Center progression moving smoothly.
