Control Europe Guides Hub

Task guides for the first match, country choice, units, cities, alliances, and formables.

Read in this order

Start with how to play, then choosing a country. Open units, cities, or alliances when that system is the thing blocking the match. Open formables when you already know which cities you can hold.

Choosing a country in Control Europe

Large countries forgive mistakes and small countries research more cheaply. China, the United States, India, and San Marino are the documented examples.

How formables work

Control every required city, including occupations. Medal gates, win gates, and the milestone table sit on top of that single rule.

Open guide

Military units, costs, and counters

Eight units with spawn cost, upkeep, and the matchups that are actually published, including carriers added in April 2026.

Cities, money, and manpower

City tier raises tax and manpower together. Occupied cities do not spawn units, and the manpower cap is 2% of population.

Alliances, political power, and war

Europe-map wars cost 50 political power to justify and 10 to declare. Breaking an alliance gives the other side four months.

FAQ

Control Europe guide questions

Why can't I spawn troops in a city I just took?

Occupied cities cannot spawn units. Annex them while you are at peace with the owner, or eliminate that country.

How much political power does a war cost?

Justification is 50 on the Europe map and 17 on the world map. Declaring costs 10 more. Default production is +0.25 per day, capped at 500.

Which units can damage a battleship?

Only planes, artillery, and missile launchers. Tanks and infantry do not damage it.

Does Control Europe have codes?

No. There is no redemption box. Join the ShkatulkaGames group for a permanent +5% tax, +5% manpower, and +2 damage.

How do you form a country?

Control every city that formable requires, including cities you only occupy, then use the formable panel. Some formables also need medals or wins, and each one can be formed once per server.
