Town Hall Info

* **Upgrade Differences**
	+ The Town Hall experiences significant visual changes at levels 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11.
		- At level 1, the Town Hall has a crooked orange roof with a small stone chimney. The windows, entrance, walls, and poles are all made out of wood.
		- At level 2, the Town Hall gets the roof tiled with orange and has the walls "straightened out" and made of stone.
		- At level 3, the Town Hall, another layer with a flat tiled roof gets added to the top.
		- At level 4, a third plain non-tiled layer and a fourth tiled layer gets added to the top. The chimney shifts to the front left.
		- At level 5, a stone framing gets added to the entrance and windows.
		- At level 6, small golden pillars appear on the sides of the Town Hall with vines that partially cover them.
		- At level 7, a small battlement with a wooden floor gets added to the back left corner of the roof. Underneath the battlements are what appear to be arrow slits.
		- At level 8, the battlement grows to the size of the whole roof and the golden pillars and front wall turn to stone. The chimney also disappears, and since there is no chimney, there is no smoke coming from the Town Hall.
		- At level 9, the entire color of the Town Hall changes to dark gray with a red flag on the top. An entrance into the Town Hall from the roof appears, similar to the one on the Level 5 Clan Castle. A small watchtower appears on the top left, and there is a new extended red entryway leading into the Town Hall, flanked with two gold chains. There is also a skull added as a door design. If noticed carefully, both front corners of the Town Hall have carved Level 7 Walls.
		- At level 10, the color of the Town Hall changes to a deep crimson red and blue gray. On the top of the Town Hall, there is a metal grate. A second watchtower is added beside the first, and molten lava spills from two openings near the top of the tower down to a trough at the base of the Town Hall. The red carpet entryway receives gold trim.
		- At level 11, the Town Hall's base changes to rough stone. The entrance becomes golden and a gate consisting of three huge spikes supported by a winch system is added above it. The roof becomes white and gains a large, lava filled hole. Two small battlements with red flooring appear on the front of the roof, and a single watchtower remains on the back. The interior of the building appears to be brightly lit, presumably from the lava on the roof. A red flag is added back to a corner of the Town Hall, this time on the upper corner.

* **History**
	+ The levels 1-8 Town Halls were added in the original release (date varies depending on platform and country).
	+ The level 9 Town Hall was added as a part of the 27/10/12 "Dark Castle" update (Version 2.86).
	+ The level 10 Town Hall was added as a part of the 23/5/13 "Fiery Fortress" update (Version 4.14).
	+ The level 11 Town Hall was added as a part of the 10/12/15 update.
		- This same update also made the Town Hall a resource building, and can now be targeted by Goblins.
		- Also, Town Hall Level 10's cost got increased from 4,000,000 gold to 5,000,000 gold and time decreased from 14 days to 12 days in the same update.
		- Town Hall 11 had a beta design before it got changed to its released design.
	+ Between November 24 and December 8 of 2014 and 2015, IOS users were able to purchase (RED) gems to contribute to AIDS research. When they did, they received a red shield on their Town Hall.
	+ In an older version, players can sell buildings but were removed in the 15/10/12 update due to it being unnecessary and due to abuse.
	+ As of the 30/4/15 update, Town Hall level 1's hit point has been decreased from 1500 to 450, and most buildings unlocked at Town Hall level 1 have their construction times decreased from 1 minute to 10 seconds. These changes have made the tutorial quicker to finish, as the two Single Player Campaign levels in the tutorial have level 1 Town Halls and quicker to destroy.
		- Town Halls in the Single Player Campaign, or "Goblin Town Halls", look the same at all levels, but the hit points are the same as player Town Halls of equal level. A Goblin Town Hall's level can be observed by the number of experience points it yields when destroyed.
	+ As of the May 2017 update, the 7th Gold Mine, and Elixir collector are now available at Town Hall 9 instead of Town Hall 10 as was the case before.

* **Trivia**
	+ During the tutorial, if all other buildings are purchased before the first Builder's Hut there will be no opportunity to buy additional Builder's Huts, bringing the max number of buildings down to 10 for Town Hall level 1.
	+ The equivalent of the Town Hall in the Builder Base is known as Builder Hall.
	+ At Town Hall level 2, it is possible to purchase a package that exceeds max resources in order to rebuild the Clan Castle.
	+ 5 level 7 Lightning Spells can destroy Town Halls of level 6 and lower.
		- Using 5 level 7 Lightning Spells and 2 level 4 Earthquake Spells (with one donated from the Clan Castle) can destroy a Town Hall of level 8 or lower.
	+ The lava in the level 10 Town Hall may be a reference to the fact that the Inferno Towers are unlocked at this level, and also that the update which Town Hall 10 was released in was called the "Fiery Fortress" update.
	+ In a previous version of the game, when a level 10 Town Hall was destroyed, the ruins would lie on a grate on top of lava. However, this is no longer the case.
	+ There is a glitch where if a Town Hall upgrade finishes during a Clan War Preparation Day, it still shows that the player is still the previous town hall level.
	+ If you zoom in on your Town Hall entrance, you will see the glow of a fire inside the entrance, provided certain actions are being proceeded.
	+ Several Defensive Buildings "face" away from the Town Hall when not in battle. The manned defenses (e.g. Archer Tower) have their occupants facing away from the Town Hall, while some of the unmanned defenses (e.g. Cannon) automatically aim away from the Town Hall.
	+ The Town Hall's entrance is small when compared to villagers and builders.
	+ If you view a players base, but the Town Hall is destroyed, villagers will still go in and out.

## Town Hall and Matchmaking

Matchmaking is based on Trophies and Town Hall level, except in Champions League and above, where only Trophies matter. Also, the loot available to gain is affected by Town Hall level. Players get reduced loot for attacking Town Halls of a lower level.
