Lancer Camp
The Lancer Camp trains your lancers and unlocks each new lancer troop tier (with increased stats and new abilities) from upgrades to its building level.
Lancer troops are meant to be well-rounded troop types that have a balanced rate of base offensive and defensive stats compared to other troop types, with a wildcard ability starting at tier-6 that allows them a chance to strike opposing archers directly. A side effect of their balanced stats is that lancers struggle to find their way in significant numbers into troop formations in the early game. However, later generations of heroes bring unique abilities that help lancers become additionally effective in combat, which allows them to excel in certain PvP combat settings.
Therefore it is important that players do not neglect developing their lancers in order to future-proof their account. Additionally, the Lancer Camp is also frequently a pre-requisite to advance your Town Center building level, meaning you will eventually have to prioritize upgrading this building anyway to continue advancing in the game.
Eventually when Truegold levels are unlocked for the Lancer Camp, completing a Truegold level applies retroactively to all troop tiers (including previously trained troops). For example, when you reach Truegold level 1, all tiers of lancers inherit the Truegold bonuses. So you can train tier-1 Truegold 1 lancers as well as tier-10 Truegold 1 lancers.
New Lordrush players may not realize that the training speed and capacity bonuses from the Lancer Camp apply to the training of all three troop types, not just lancers, so upgrading it helps your infantry and archers too.
