The Kingshot Town Center controls nearly every major part of city progression. Its level determines how far you can upgrade other buildings and when systems such as Hero Gear, Governor Gear, Governor Charms, and Truegold become available.
Every Town Center upgrade requires specific buildings, resources, and construction time. From Level 9 onward, the Embassy becomes a repeated prerequisite, while the second required building rotates between the Academy and the three troop-training buildings.
This guide lists every Town Center requirement from Level 1 through Level 30, the important features unlocked at each milestone, and the full Town Center path from TG1 to TG8.
To reach Town Center Level 30, you need an Embassy Level 29 and Range Level 29, plus 300 million Bread, 300 million Wood, 60 million Stone, and 15 million Iron. The base upgrade time is 40 days, 4 hours, and 27 minutes before construction bonuses, Alliance Help, and speedups.
What Does the Town Center Do?
The Town Center is the main progression building in Kingshot. Other buildings usually cannot be upgraded beyond the current Town Center level.
Upgrading it provides several benefits:
- Unlocks new buildings and gameplay systems
- Raises the maximum level of supporting buildings
- Raises the maximum Hero level at important milestones
- Unlocks troop-training buildings and military systems
- Unlocks Hero Gear, Governor Gear, and Governor Charms
- Opens Truegold progression after Level 30
- Provides a large amount of Building Power
Because it controls so many systems, the Town Center should normally remain your main construction objective. However, rushing it without preparing the next prerequisites can leave the construction queue blocked.
Kingshot Town Center Requirements Level 1-30

Town Center Prerequisite Pattern
From Level 13 onward, the second prerequisite follows a repeating pattern:
| Town Center Target | Required Supporting Building |
|---|---|
| Levels 13, 17, 21, 25, and 29 | Barracks at the previous level |
| Levels 14, 18, 22, 26, and 30 | Range at the previous level |
| Levels 15, 19, 23, and 27 | Stable at the previous level |
| Levels 16, 20, 24, and 28 | Academy at the previous level |
The Embassy is required at the previous level for nearly every Town Center upgrade from Level 9 onward.
Therefore, the most efficient construction routine is:
- Start the Town Center upgrade.
- Use the second construction queue to raise the Embassy.
- Prepare the next rotating prerequisite.
- Gather the resources for the next Town Center level.
- Begin the next Town Center upgrade as soon as the current one finishes.

Server-age note: Some systems require both a Town Center level and a minimum kingdom age. Reaching the listed Town Center level does not always unlock an age-gated feature immediately.
What Is the Maximum Town Center Level?
The normal Town Center maximum is Level 30. After the Age of Truegold begins, Town Center progression continues through micro-stages and completed Truegold tiers.
The current maximum Town Center tier is TG8.
Every completed Truegold tier contains five construction steps:
- Four partial stages
- One final stage that completes the next TG level
For example, reaching TG1 requires:
- Level 30-1
- Level 30-2
- Level 30-3
- Level 30-4
- Completed TG1
Requirements to Start TG1
To begin the first Truegold Town Center upgrade, you need:
- Town Center Level 30
- Embassy Level 30
- Academy Level 30
- The Age of Truegold active in the kingdom
- 132 Truegold for each construction step
- 67 million Bread per step
- 67 million Wood per step
- 13 million Stone per step
- 3.3 million Iron per step
There are five TG1 steps. Therefore, completing Town Center TG1 requires a total of:
- 660 Truegold
- 335 million Bread
- 335 million Wood
- 65 million Stone
- 16.5 million Iron
- 35 days of base construction time

Best Town Center Upgrade Strategy
Keep the Embassy Ready
The Embassy becomes a required building for nearly every Town Center level from Level 9 onward.
Upgrading it early also provides more Alliance Help attempts, longer time reductions from each help, and greater reinforcement capacity.
Prepare the Rotating Building
Check the next Town Center requirement before starting the current upgrade. Your second construction queue should prepare the next Barracks, Range, Stable, or Academy requirement.
For example, while upgrading Town Center Level 28, begin preparing the Barracks for the Level 29 requirement.
Do Not Upgrade Every Building Equally
Resource buildings and optional structures provide benefits, but they do not all need to match the Town Center level.
Prioritize:
- Town Center prerequisites
- Embassy
- Required troop building or Academy
- Academy research
- Command Center
- Main troop buildings
- Infirmary and Storehouse
- Resource-production buildings
Prepare Resources Before the Timer Ends
Higher Town Center levels require hundreds of millions of Bread and Wood. Start gathering for the next level while the current Town Center upgrade is still running.
Keep resource items unopened until needed so they remain protected in your backpack.
Use Construction Bonuses Before Starting
Construction-speed bonuses normally need to be active before the timer is created.
Before beginning a long Town Center upgrade:
- Request the appropriate kingdom title when available.
- Activate a construction-speed bonus.
- Check active pet and Master bonuses.
- Complete useful Development research.
- Ask Alliance members to be ready to help.
- Start the construction before using speedups.
Use Alliance Help Before Speedups
After starting the upgrade, wait for Alliance Help before applying large speedups. Using speedups immediately can waste the free time reduction provided by alliance members.
Time Large Upgrades With Events
Town Center upgrades can provide points during events that reward Construction Power, Truegold use, or construction speedups.
Possible scoring events include:
- Hall of Governors
- Strongest Governor
- Kingdom of Power preparation
- Armament Competition
- Alliance Mobilization tasks
Check the live task description first. Some events reward completed Construction Power, while others reward speedups or Truegold spent.
Should You Rush the Town Center?
Rushing the Town Center is generally useful because it unlocks important buildings, higher troop tiers, gear systems, and account features.
However, rushing too far can create several problems:
- Weak Academy research
- Low troop-building levels
- Insufficient troop counts
- Poor Hero and Hero Gear development
- Low Infirmary capacity
- Not enough resources for the next prerequisite
A practical strategy is to rush important unlock milestones while keeping the Academy and required troop buildings close behind.
Important Milestones to Rush
- Level 7: Alliance and Barracks
- Level 8: Arena, Embassy, Range, and Infirmary
- Level 9: Academy, Storehouse, and Stable
- Level 10: Command Center
- Level 15: Hero Gear
- Level 20: Mastery Forging
- Level 22: Governor Gear
- Level 25: Governor Charms
- Level 26: Maximum Hero Level 80
- Level 30: Truegold eligibility
Common Town Center Upgrade Mistakes
Ignoring the Embassy
The Embassy is required for nearly every later Town Center level. Leaving it behind creates an immediate progression block.
Preparing the Wrong Troop Building
The required troop building rotates between Barracks, Range, and Stable. Check the next level rather than upgrading all three randomly.
Using Incorrect Level 11 Resource Data
Town Center Level 11 requires 260,000 Stone. Older charts sometimes display 20,000 because a digit was omitted.
Opening Resource Items Too Early
Resources opened from the backpack become part of your available balance. Keep them unopened until the construction requirements are ready.
Reading a Truegold Step as a Complete Tier
Every Town Center Truegold tier contains five construction steps. For example, TG1 costs 132 Truegold per step, or 660 Truegold for the complete tier.
Using Outdated Tempered Truegold Costs
The TG6 Town Center path requires 60 Tempered Truegold in total, not 600. Always distinguish the per-step cost from the complete-tier total.
Spending Speedups Before Alliance Help
Allow Alliance Help to reduce the timer first. Apply construction speedups only after the available help has been received.
Rushing Without Research or Troops
A high Town Center level does not automatically create a strong account. Academy research, troops, Heroes, and Gear must continue developing alongside it.
Players joining an established kingdom may face long Town Center timers, Truegold requirements, research gaps, and underdeveloped troops. Those comparing established progression options can review a verified kingshot account for sale before developing every city level from the beginning.

Conclusion
The Kingshot Town Center is the main bottleneck for city progression. Upgrading it unlocks new buildings, raises Hero limits, and opens major systems such as Hero Gear, Governor Gear, Governor Charms, and Truegold.
From Level 9 onward, keep the Embassy close to the Town Center. Prepare the rotating Barracks, Range, Stable, or Academy requirement while the current upgrade is running.
Town Center Level 30 requires Embassy Level 29 and Range Level 29. After reaching Level 30 and entering the Age of Truegold, continue by upgrading the Embassy and Academy to Level 30 for TG1.
Truegold progression contains five construction steps per tier and currently ends at TG8. Calculate complete-tier costs before spending, prepare the next prerequisite early, and use construction bonuses, Alliance Help, and event timing to reduce the total cost of progression.
