The map includes non-European areas south of the Mediterranean Sea, Turkey and parts of the Middle East. The map has 48 regions with 7 bonus zones. This provides a good sized map for 2-6 player games.
Although the Europe map appears rather square, the Alps and Caucasus mountain ranges (impassable) and two bottleneck regions in practice splits the map into a northern and southern part. The Europe map is a simple, conservative and classic-style Conquer Club map (released in April 2006) relying primarily on region count advantage and zone bonuses to provide an edge in each game. Consequently, being a simple, old school map – what works on Classic generally works on the Europe map.

How to play Europe show: Two Player
In a 2 player game, each player starts with 16 regions (i.e. leaving 16 neutral regions). With this initial set-up, an early region count advantage (one player holding 18 or more regions with the other player holding 14 or less regions) may, irrespective of the spoils type, be decisive for the outcome of the game. Preventing the opponent from getting a region count advantage and/or holding any of the more easily defended bonus zones should be an overarching priority.

With the Europe map being a rather simple, straight forward old school map - what works on Classic generally works on this map.no spoils , flat rate and nuclear games. Here, the map-specific points under the “Two Player” and “Team Games” sub-sections may be helpful in addition to the general strategy guides on these topics.escalating games, the only bonus zones one should attempt to hold (if any) in these games are Western Russia, Africa, The Near East and/or Scandinavia.
show: Team Games
With respect to the basic set-up: In 4 player doubles games, each player starts with 12 regions, in triples games, each player starts with 8 regions and in quadruples games, each player starts with 6 regions.quadruples games is usually to target and attempt to eliminate one of the players in the opposing team (once done, one simply continues targeting the remaining opponents one by one).doubles or triples games, one should keep in mind that the Europe map is split between a northern and southern part. The two bottleneck regions (Croatia and France / Spain) are important as holding these regions not only allows you to assault into either part of the map but also allows you to block the opposing team’s ability to reinforce troops between the two parts of the map.
