Town Center
The Town Center is the main building in your Lordrush Town. It acts as the main stage gate for advancing your development since no buildings in your Town can exceed the level of your Town Center.
The Town Center is also the most expensive and longest building to upgrade. It also requires different prerequisites for each level, which are outlined in the table below. Due to the high input cost and high impact of new Town Center levels, advancing the Town Center is a major event. Lordrush players usually use their Town Center level as a shorthand way of describing an account’s progression due to how important it is.
Interestingly enough, the Town Center itself doesn’t really do anything, unless you count acting as the final base in the tower defense minigame. However, this is a relatively small role in Lordrush for players who have been playing for even a week or so. Most account advancements come from the buildings the Town Center unlocks, such as the Academy for research or troop buildings like the Infantry Camp.
The only real counterexamples to this are Mastery of Hero Gear at Town Center level 20, Governor Gear at Town Center level 22, and Governor Charms at Town Center level 25. There are optimization tools for all three on Lordrush Hub to help you make the most out of your account investment.
