Village HQ

The church helps the religious villagers in the surrounding villages. Without a church to influence the troops, troops outside a churches area of influence will fight with a 50% reduced efficiency both in defense and offense capabilities.

For information about the First Church click here.

• A church is only available on worlds that have religion enabled in their settings.
• A church can be upgraded up to level 3, the higher the level, the larger the radius of influence.
• Players do not have to build a church in every village, since one smartly placed church covers enough area to boost the belief of all of the villages in its range.
• If a church village is conquered, all the villages inside the conquered church radius will fight at 50% strength, unless covered by another church.
• Supporting troops sent from a village outside a church radius will fight at 100% strength so long as the village they're stationed in is religious.
• Churches can be catapulted but they take significantly more catapults to drop a level than normal buildings. When you noble a village the church disappears.
• Church influence only effect your own villages, not allies, not others. Only yours.

Should I make a church village defensive or offensive? - Taking into account that a church village will use up a lot of population space it is recommended that you make the village defensive or turn it into a scout village.

What is the difference between a Church and First Church? - You can only have one First Church constructed and it cannot be upgraded. If used smartly, you can use the First Church as a fast way of making new caps religious.
