Headquarters

The headquarters is where all construction is ordered, and every level speeds up construction by about 6%. Most other buildings require a minimum HQ level, so it gates your whole tech tree.

Max level: 30
Upgrade the HQ whenever build times start to feel long — the ~6% per level compounds across everything you'll ever build.
Check upcoming requirements early: the stable wants HQ 10 and the academy HQ 20, and those levels take a while.
Don't over-build it in a pure farm village — an HQ past the levels your plan needs is population spent on nothing.

Levels

Base values at world speed ×1 (HQ / Barracks level 1). Faster worlds divide build, recruit and travel times — and multiply production.
