Benefit of upgrading your HQ :

"You do upgrade your offense capabilities as well, higher level armory, more landing craft with bigger more comfortable seats and way more leg room for troops. Also as you go along you unlock higher troop levels and better variety.

Aside from getting the resources to do so, there is no down side to pushing HQ as fast as allowed by the game parameters. "

"You'll unlock other offensive and defensive items. A stronger offense should be a slightly higher priority over defense. It's much easier to go attack to gather resources than to defend resources. Both are important, but an offensive strategy will help you collect resources much faster than defending your home base to keep resources.

Higher level HQ = ability to upgrade more items. "
