QUICK ANSWERS
TH1 Progression FAQ
What Should I Do First at TH1?
Start with Tutorial Tasks, Army Camp, Barracks. Complete the tutorial requirements and move to TH2 when the game allows it.
Does TH1 Need a Full Maxing Plan?
TH1 is an early progression stage. Complete the key army, resource, and required building upgrades, then move on when the next Town Hall is available.
When Should I Upgrade to TH2?
Upgrade to TH2 as soon as the tutorial requirements are complete. TH1 is designed to teach the basics rather than serve as a long progression stage.
Is This the Only Correct Upgrade Order?
No. This is a balanced recommendation. Builders, Magic Items, preferred armies, war schedule, and available resources can justify changing the order.
