In Europa Universalis II, a conscription center (abbreviated CC and also called "barracks") is a city upgrade which raises manpower and doubles the recruitment capacity in its city. Conscription centers are shown on the main map by a large gray tent, and shown on the city screen as a larger, spikier version of the normal recruiting tent. Conscription centers may be built in any city once land tech 41 is reached. Their main effect, raising manpower, is greatest in cities with large base manpower, of the state culture, and cores.
