Town Hall

Runs celebrations to generate Culture Points and influences chiefing through Great Celebrations. A small celebration costs 6,400 lumber, 6,650 clay, 5,940 iron and 1,340 crop - 20,330 in all - and a great one 29,700, 33,250, 32,000 and 6,700, which is 101,650.

• Small Celebrations are especially important early when racing for the next settlement slot / first major expansion.
• Celebrations should be introduced across villages as the account economy develops.
• Long term, the goal for a fast-growing account is high-level Town Halls running Great Celebrations as consistently as resources allow.
• More Culture Points means faster settlement or conquest of additional villages.
• More villages compound account growth through additional resource fields, building queues and troop-production capacity.
• During chiefing, running a Great Celebration is considered a key offensive preparation because it improves the loyalty battle in the attacker's favour; a defender's Great Celebration can work against the attacker.

Strategy. Town Hall should be viewed as a growth engine, not just a Culture Point checkbox.

A step pays that much of each of the four resources, plus the hero experience, and the hero's own level adds 2% a level above the first on top of both. A reward can be left unclaimed and taken whenever it suits: claiming it pays no health, but the experience it carries can push the hero up a level, and it is the level-up that restores full health.
